Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

All Zack did was pull out his phone as quickly as he could. "Let me take some pictures first to commemorate this."

He was undoubtedly bold beyond measure. But then again, as Angela's younger brother and Dexter's brother-in-law, he had every reason to be.

Right now, the unfortunate Dexter and Angela were at a loss for words. Seriously? They were already in a miserable state, and now they were being laughed at, too?
