Antonio texted Janelle: “Since we’re having a baby, let’s get married soon. We’ll have a small wedding now. My family thinks it’s best since you’re pregnant and shouldn’t stress. Next year, after the baby’s born, we can have a big one.”

Janelle took the bait and replied with a heart emoji.

“What a move! Who’s the lucky girl?”

“She’s Antonio’s first love, a real Cinderella about to become a princess.”

Janelle basked in the whispered admiration. Her smile grew wider as she took in the vibrant roses around.
