FAKE KNOT

"I do." I said, smiling at Charles. He smiled back at me. He does know this is a fake marriage, right? Last thing I need is for him to let his feelings take over?

He put the ring in my finger. I put the ring on his. The crowd clapped and cheered.

"You may kiss your bride." The priest said, smiling down at us. I looked at Charles and I hesitated. He leaned forward and whispered in my ear, "One kiss can't hurt, right?"

I guess...? I nodded. He held my face in his palm and kissed me. I leaned into the kiss, not because I wanted to but because it was my duty.

"Mrs. and Mr. Red." The priest cheered, smiling at everyone.
