Richard called out to her just then. "Mommy?"
Cordy came to her senses and said evenly, "It's your daddy's decision. You should respect it."
"Okay," Richard replied before remembering something. "What present do you think I should get for their wedding?"
"Nothing. Just give them your blessing," Cordy said flatly.
"But I really want to give them a present," Richard said seriously.
Cordy pursed her lips but remained silent.
She had no idea what she should suggest, and given how she felt about the wedding…
Whatever. That was their business.

Cordy returned to her room after dinner, and she had just gotten into bed to sleep when Zoe called.
"Cordy, did you know that John is going to marry Wendy?!"
"I know," Cordy replied nonchalantly.
"It's on the eighteenth of next month. Just twenty-five days from now," Zoe said.
"Yeah."
"And… you're not interested?"
"Should I be?" Cordy asked in return, amused.
If John believed his decision to be right, then it must be—she would not give it any comment.
"I'm getting married too," Zoe suddenly added quietly.
"What?!" Cordy was clearly agitated this time.
