Signed Away

Everyone was ready to go except me. But I didn’t care. I was taking my time. It’s not like they would go without me. After all, I was the one signing the marriage certificate.

The next day came too quickly. Like the blink of an eye, and suddenly, it was here. Today, I was to register my marriage, just as I was informed yesterday. Don’s mum called earlier to say everything was set and that we just had to go for the signing at their family residence. His grandma’s lawyers had already prepared everything. Talk about influence.

Soon, after Mum called for the hundredth time, I was finally ready. I descended the stairs to meet the others, my every step felt heavier than the last.
