"Why did you drag me out here," I asked, folding my arms across my chest.
"I think I have a way where we can solve both of our problems," he began. "I'm proposing that you be my future bride, and in exchange, I will help fund your research department and your parent's shop however I can."

"Because they actually want to marry me. You are…decent enough to get the job done," he said with a snide smile on his face.
"We are going to have to work on your complementing skills, I see," I muttered.
"Look, are you in or not?" Grey demanded.
I sighed. There wasn't much of a downside to taking the deal. If anything went wrong, I could always pull out of it, right?
I nodded, "I'm in."

"I'll be right out here if you need me," Grey said as we pulled up to the dress boutique. Grey got out of the car and opened the door for my mother and me.

"This simply will not do!" Mrs. Downing's voice shouted. She was leaning over the reception desk, and I could see Emily trying to keep a straight face. When she spotted me, Emily instantly left her desk and quickly walked over to us.


"Marceline, it's good to see you," she began, her voice sounding stressed. "There seems to be a problem with the dress you chose a while ago."
