I inquired, giving him a suspicious look. "Please read through it; it's the best solution I could come up with," he urged. I opened the document, and it was titled "Marriage Contract."

Paige was at a loss for words. Chris continued, "They say marriage is a woman's second chance at life, so you've made a good second chance.
