The Question He Never Answered

Synopsis

At the party, my friends teased me, asking when Melvin Wiley and I would get married. I smiled and looked at him. But he fell silent, awkwardly changing the subject. The friends who had been teasing us looked at me with an apologetic expression in their eyes. I kept smiling, taking a sip of my drink. I was not one to procrastinate, at least, not terribly. So, I decided to let Melvin off the hook. And more importantly, I let myself off the hook too.
