Irene stared at the text in surprise.
Getting married?
Who sent this? And who were they marrying?
None of her acquaintances looked like they would marry soon.
Erin Gooding and James Cross, perhaps?
But they would not be making up so soon, would they?
While she was left confused, more text arrived.
[I thought about it for a while, but eventually decided to tell you because you're my only connection.]
Irene had a hunch then, and quickly asked: [Lulu?]
[Yeah.]
Irene asked almost in reflex: [Where are you right now? Who are you marrying?]
…
Lulu Adams stared at Irene's reply without moving.
She did not want Irene to visit her or attend her wedding—all she wanted was a simple life.
She decided to marry Martin York because he was the reason she found warmth in this unfamiliar city.
When she smelled the sheep's fat during a team dinner days ago, she started to retch.
When an older forensic doctor asked if she was pregnant, everyone started to stare at her weirdly.
After all, she told everyone that she was single and never married when she first joined their squad, and could not respond when she was suddenly asked if she was pregnant.
