"Well, here we are, the best restaurant in town! Also my favorite" Kylee says as she scrunches her face and smiles.
"Well, if it's your favorite. it's my favorite too." Dan's words make me want to vomit...but not in front of him.
"Let's just order." and get this over with I think.

45 minutes or so later after Kyle finishes her meal, she goes I the bathroom to 'powder her nose'. And that's how I got here, staring at Dan, wishing I went to England.
"So, Kylee's great! I see why you're friends with her" says Dan, who's obviously trying to overcome the awkwardness of our first meeting.
"That makes one of us"
"What?"
"Oh, nothing..nothing. So...you're marrying Kylee."
"Don't worry I'll take great care of her, promise." Dan musters a chuckle.
"Oh, that's not what I'm worried about."
"I'm sorry..what?"
There's two ways I could handle this, be happy my bestfriend's marrying the love of her life...or try to ruin their wedding. I toss the ideas around in my head, almost deciding upon ruining the wedding, but I can't Kylee's my best friend, she hasn't done anything wrong to me. Right?
"Oh, I'm just worried you won't have enough money for her, she's pretty high-mantience you know."
"Well, I'll just work even harder so I can please her." his words feel like someone's stabbing me.
"Good" I feel my throat tightening up and I can't breathe, am I going to cry? No, I can't. not in front of Dan.
"I'm sorry to ask but do you have any tips for me so I can ensure a happy marriage, besides love..w-we already have that covered" he almost seems I be struggling with his words, but he can't be, he just said that he loved her.
When I think those words I don't feel a tugging at my throat but move of a...gag
"Mmm, I don't...don't feel too well. Ughh uhh blahh."
You can imagine what happens after that.
