Chapter 1 Valentine's Day. I'm working at City Hall when my fiancé walks in-with his "girl bestie" to get married. He tosses his ID on my desk like it's nothing: "Chill, Nina. Lost a bet." "Gotta marry Sophia for a day. We'll divorce tomorrow, no biggie." Sophia-rocking HIS white shirt-smirks at me: "Nina's not gonna block us, right?" "She's always been bitchy about me anyway..." Before she finishes, I slam my stamp down: "Hell no! I get it." "You're just buddies doing buddy things." "Go take your cute little photos. Happy honeymoon!" His face goes dark and they storm out. Next day.

Same duo, back for divorce. I clock those fresh hickeys on his neck and grin, sliding over a counseling form: "Oops! New policy." "Impulsive couples gotta cool off first." "Want that divorce? See you in six months, lovebirds." Valentine's Day. Someone's banging on my window. "Nina, don't flip out on me. It's just a stupid dare." I look up-Ryan's standing there with Sophia wrapped around him. She's wearing MY shirt. The one I bought him for his birthday. Ryan slides their IDs across, all casual: "We lost at beer pong. Have to get hitched for a day.

Tomorrow we're back to undo this mess." Sophia's practically purring: "You won't be a bitch about this, will you?" "Come on, we're just screwing around. Don't tell me you're actually pressed." The fucking nerve. Making me marry them off on Valentine's Day. Everyone's staring. The whole office is eating this up. Ryan's drumming his fingers: "Seriously, Nina, can we speed this up?" Sophia whispers something in his ear, then smirks at me. My blood turns to ice, but I flash them my brightest smile: "Oh honey, I'm TOTALLY here for this!" I grab their paperwork, humming while I process everything.

Ryan's face drops. Where's the meltdown? The jealous girlfriend act? "Booth three's open! Go get those wedding shots-make 'em count!" They come back looking all loved-up in their photos. WHAM. I slam that stamp down like I'm sealing their fate. "There you go, lovebirds. Till death do you part!" (1) 000 (0) Ruby Walker Ruby Walker is a rising voice in the world of romance and spicy fiction.
