Abandoned Bride, Accidental Wife

Synopsis

The day we were supposed to get our marriage license, Ryan stood me up. I called him over a dozen times before he finally answered—but it wasn't Ryan. A woman's voice came through the line. "Hey Sophie, Ryan was exhausted yesterday and just crashed. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll pass it on when he wakes up." I hung up without another word. After 11 years of trying to win someone's heart and getting nowhere, I decided it was time to set myself free. As I turned to leave, I accidentally bumped into a guy. He smelled faintly of wood—warm and pleasant. I blurted out, "Hi, can we get married?" He froze for a second, then nodded. "I'll go get my ID right now."
