Capítulo 32: Wedding Bells?

"Eloping... Are you serious?" she asked again.

He pulled over by a small jewelry store then gave her his signature warm smile, "You can still change your mind about us until we exchange vows at the court of law tomorrow. Until then, we must be ready."

She searched his face for any traces of humor but found none. Not only did he propose to her, but now, he wanted to get married immediately.

"...Alonso, if you're trying to prove to me that your engagement is fake—"

She stopped when he grabbed her hand and squeezed.

"I just want you to become my wife."

He was such a simple man who always answered her questions directly, but it was still hard to believe some of those answers!

"…Tomorrow?" she asked again.

"Well, it would have been better if it was yesterday or today, but we have to finish our preparations first," he gestured toward the store behind him then winked at her.
