Simone gave me a hug as adrenaline coursed through my body and made my hands shake. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves as I tried to fill in the online form for a Clark County marriage license. Nevada's laws were super easy as there were no blood tests or laborious hoops to jump through. Flynn and I still had to go to the Regional Justice Center to pick up the license, but I managed send all the details ahead so that all we had to do was turn up before midnight, flash our ID cards, and sign for it.
"Oh. My. God, Valerie. I can't believe you're finally doing it. Flynn has been desperate for this day."
"Don't exaggerate, Simone, he only asked me officially yesterday."
"He's been asking you for years in his own way, according to Craig."
