Daisy

We’re doing it at town hall and he’s filed all the paperwork, so we’re waiting on an appointment. For a place so small, it baffles the mind that we can’t show up one day and get married.

Roe

Life isn’t easy. Suck it up, buttercup.

Daisy

Roe

What are you wearing?

Daisy

I was thinking maybe a saree? I need to do some research and find the right one, but I did find this cute dress as an alternative.

Roe

Fuck that, we’re getting you a saree. You look so good in them.

Daisy

I’m so glad you’re my person.

Roe

I don’t think you want HIM hearing you say that.

Daisy

He’s also my person. Both of you are my people and my soulmates, he knows this.

Roe

Now I feel like I should be challenging him to some kind of duel.

Daisy

He’ll accept and bow out when you win.

Roe

Boo. He better not LET me win. I want a fair fight.

Daisy

You’ve met him, you know he’s not going to take it easy on you.

Roe

Does he take it easy on you?

Daisy

Absolutely not. I love it when he turns into an animal.
