Ten years ago

"I have an idea!"
"An idea?"
"Yes, an idea! How about we just marry each other if we're both still single in around ten years from today? "
Laney starts laughing but stops immediately when she notices how serious Eli is.
"You're serious!? Oh, well. Sure? I mean, it's not like this is gonna happen anyway, we will both be taken in ten years!", she shrugs.
"Okay, so. It's a deal?, he smirks and reaches out his hand for a pinky promise.
"Its a deal!", Laney says and joins their fingers together.
