“You--" “Her credentials for the record,” my lawyer said, reaching back to take a thick stack of documents from Theodore's hand. I smiled, charmed at how thick it was. I wondered if Theodore had thumbed though it. I watched Owen open it, glaring down at the paperwork. The documents on top were from this country, but the glowing pages were from across the border. I was impressed. The documents had been immaculately prepared, bearing official translations, government seals, and even the temple’s authentication from across the border.

The document inside was thirty-seven pages. In French. With an English translation paper-clipped to each page in a hand Elena recognised, from the first line, as not legal translation but personal — someone who had translated this themselves, carefully, over time, for their own understanding. Vanderlith's mother. Twenty years of living with this document had apparently included translating it entirely by hand. Elena read the summary that Laurent had prepared.

Are we getting pictures done!” The girl smiled looking at the photographer and the photographer instantly started to click the pictures while the government official opened up a file which already had marriage documents, identification proof of both the people. “You both need to sign here and declare that you are taking this decision with consent.” The official pointed towards a blank area underneath the contract.
