He definitely knew what he was doing. This was no spur-of-the-moment thing. The second he realized who Cassie was, even though he was still boiling with anger, the thought just wouldn’t leave his mind. Cassie, on the other hand, seemed a bit clueless about what being a couple really meant. It’s not just about eating, drinking, and hanging out together all the time. He had to act fast, before she changed her mind or something else got in the way.
But Cassie’s surprised reaction made him second-guess himself for a moment.
“You don’t want to?”
“I do, I really do want to marry you.” Cassie was nothing if not straightforward. She felt like marrying Winston was a stroke of pure luck.
“So, what’s the holdup? Let’s head to city hall and tie the knot right now.”
Cassie got up and walked to the window, pulling the curtains wide open. “Buddy, it’s nighttime.”
Winston was momentarily speechless.
Cassie returned to the dining table, “You head home for now, and I’ll come with you tomorrow to get the license.”
Winston was practically bursting with happiness, but he kept a straight face. “Alright.”
He stood up and made his way to the door, with Cassie following him.
As he stepped out, he said, “I’m leaving now, don’t change your mind tomorrow.”
“I, Cassie, stick to my word. If anyone backs out, they’re a coward,” she reassured him, secretly worried he might be the one to reconsider this unexpected good fortune.
Winston nodded, “Okay, I’m leaving then.”
“See you,” she replied.
He took a few steps out and then turned back, “Don’t forget your documents tomorrow.”
