Chapter 1

Outside Jersten's city hall, Elvira Willis glanced at her watch, an hour past the time she and Calvin Kennedy had planned to tie the knot. She had called him over a dozen times with no luck.

Then, a fainty cry whimpered in the background. "Calvin, it hurts" Elvira then heard Calvin cooing in the background. "Easy, can't you see she's hurting!
