A Contract Marriage
She asks.
I nod, “umm, I got married to someone very important, someone we all know, David Carter”.
Her hand flies to her mouth in surprise, “David Carter?” She repeats, “you can’t possibly be serious, are you pulling my legs” she laughs.
I show her a picture of David and I holding our marriage certificate, “it’s true, I’m really married and I’m sorry for not letting you know” I say, looking down.
She remains quiet and I can tell that she’s not really happy about my decision, we haven’t really ever talked about. “So is it a love marriage?” She asks.
