placed his hand near her face, and her mouth formed an O. He has the same band as I do .
    “Yes dear, we’re married.”
    Matt and Shannon rushed into the room.
    “Why are you screaming?” Shannon’s eyes were wide.
    “You and you.” Sherry pointed at Shannon and then at Matt. “How could you guys let this happen?” She showed them the wedding ring.
    “Lower your voice. I have a headache. Let you do what? You’re a grown woman,” Shannon said, rubbing her temples.
    Matt laughed. “Damn, I thought I was dreaming, but you guys really got married.”
    “I was drunk! How could you let this happen, Andrew?” Sherry asked.
    “You weren’t complaining last night.”
    “We’re going down to the chapel and tell them it was a mistake.” She strode past Andrew and he grabbed her wrist.
    “It wasn’t a mistake. I knew what I was doing, and I thought you knew too.”
    “I was freaking drunk, Andrew, and you don’t even like me.”
    “You asked me to marry you.”
    “Maybe I thought I was marrying someone else.”
    Andrew released her wrist and pulled out his suitcase and started packing.
    “What are you doing?” Matt asked Andrew.
    “ Sherry, why would you say something like that?” Shannon asked, getting angry. “You looked happy last night as you were saying your vows.” She showed her pictures on her phone.
    The memories all came back to Sherry at once, but she wasn’t going to admit it. “Whatever! I want an annulment,” Sherry said.
    Andrew stepped in front of her, placed his suitcase down, and cupped her face. “I’m not giving you an annulment.” He kissed her lips and stepped away from her.
    “Why?”
    He looked at his brother and sister-in-law. “If it’s okay with you two, I’m going to get Matthew and Makayla when I get back.”
    “Off course it’s okay, but why are you leaving?” Matt asked. “You need to handle this. You’re a fucking lawyer.”
    “I already did. Pick them up at my place.” He turned and left the hotel room.
    “No, he did not just walk out on me.” Sherry crossed her hands over her chest.
    “What did you expect? You hurt his feelings,” Shannon said.
    “He doesn’t have any feelings.”
    “My brother has more feelings than you think.” Matt sounded upset. He stalked off to his room, leaving the sisters alone.
    Sherry went to her suitcase looking for clothes to put on.
    “You’re not going to follow him?” Shannon asked.
    “No! If he wants to leave, let him.” She began getting dressed. “I’m going down to the chapel and see what I can do, and if that doesn’t work, when I get home I’m going to file for an annulment.” Sherry grabbed her purse.
    Shannon stopped at the door. “Stop being so damn selfish and hear what he has to say.”
    “You’re calling me selfish because I don’t want to be married to a man that doesn’t even like me?” Sherry glared at her.
    “The noises I heard coming from this room last night didn’t sound like a man that doesn’t like you.”
    Sherry took long strides and was in front of her sister with her finger pointing at her. “Is this why you invited me?”
    Shannon didn’t deny or accepted it , but the look of guilt on her face told her she was right.
    “I can’t believe I fell for your shit.”
    Shannon slapped her sister’s finger from in front of her face. “Why can’t you just admit it? You like Andrew.”
    She turned into her room and Shannon observed her as she started packing her suitcase. “You’re the one that asked him to marry you. I had nothing to do with that.”
    Sherry closed her bags, grabbed her purse, and headed to the door.
    Shannon smiled. “He might surprise you.”
    “You know what, Shannon?” She took a few more steps and turned. “Bye.”
    “He might be exactly what you need.”
    At her sister’s final words, she slammed the hotel room door and walked to the elevator, whispering to herself. “He might just be….”
