After ten years together, Andrew Cooper promised me a wedding that everyone in the city would envy. But three days before the wedding, I received an anonymous package. Inside was a photo of Andrew and a girl, both holding their marriage license. The girl was leaning on his shoulder, her smile lighting up, while Andrew looked down at her like she was something precious he'd gotten back. There was a card that said, [I'm back.] I took the photo to Andrew, and he answered me calmly, "It's true. Emily never planned on getting married, but she wanted to experience what it's like to get a marriage license as a memory. I was helping her fulfill a wish; that's all." I remembered the day Andrew proposed. I was so happy that I texted all my friends and family, telling them I was finally going to marry him. "If you're not comfortable with this, call off the wedding. It's not like I have to marry you," Andrew said. "I'll marry you," I retorted. The wedding would go on as planned, but he might no longer be the groom.
