"Good luck with that," he offered Mina who smiled at him.
"I'm gonna need it," she agreed.
"So you're Wolf," Edison said, walking in, head cocked to the side.
"I'm Wolf," he agreed.
"Edison," he offered, giving Wolf a nod.
"The Edison?" Wolf asked, making Mina and I share a look.
From what we could gather after we got his full name and ran him, he wasn't anyone special. He had a few arrests when he was younger, usually associated with his criminal father and uncle, then drunk and disorderly as an adult. Aside from that, nothing.
"Yep," Edison agreed, leaning back against the wall, crossing his arms.
"Nice."
"We missed something," Mina said quietly as the conversation shifted.
Mina- 1 year
"Seriously?" I asked, sitting at the very large round table in Maze's dining room, the entire surface of it covered in magazines and computer print outs.
"I thought we were done with this," Alex declared, shaking her head. "But, no, of course not. You had to go and get shacked up with a Henchmen and join the girls club."
"You guys are the ones making it complicated," Summer insisted, jiggling Finn on her hip.
"It's only complicated because this whole thing is ridiculous," Janie insisted.
"Just because you wanted a small wedding doesn't mean everyone does," Lo chastised.
So... I was getting married.
It had been a natural progression of things, but I had been shocked when Renny asked me.
And of course, he did it in true Renny-style.
There was no silly trip to a nice restaurant where he had the ring put in a cupcake or anything like that.
Oh no.
He got me a new game for my DS, telling me it was an advanced copy of some game not slated to come out for another six months that he had Janie and Alex get for me.
And, along the lines of Pokemon Go, it was a real time, real life game where I had to chase not Pokemon, but little serial killers and try to cage them based on some clues that led me from place to place.
The last of which led me to She's Bean Around and right to a table that was very familiar to me.
It didn't click.
Really, I was genuinely in the dark, too wrapped up in my new game to see that maybe the location was a bit too pointed. I sat down, tired from running around all morning, and opened the little envelope on the screen that was supposed to give me clues to the next tidbit of my profile.
But it wasn't a clue.
It was a demand to look up from my screen already.
Like he had somehow known I would be too into the game to notice anything else.
My head jerked up to find Renny kneeling next to the table, boyish smile in place, hand up, with a diamond ring between his fingers.
It was exactly the kind he somehow knew I would like too, despite the fact that I never wore rings so he couldn't have just observed a preference. It was a single cushion-cut diamond on a thin platinum band- nothing crowded or over the top.
"Didn't figure you for the rose-petal trail kind of woman," he said, breaking a long silence as I sat there too stunned to say anything.
"So you had a video game made for me?" I finally asked when I found my voice.
"Only got one chance to do this, figured I might as well do it right."
"That must have taken months."
"Let's say I had Janie hook me up with some people pretty much as soon as you moved into the compound. I didn't want some cheesy C-level game."
Right after I moved into the compound? He knew he was going to marry me a year ago? Hell, a year ago, I wasn't sure if I could last a week of him never being able to hang up a wet towel. Let alone spending the rest of my life with him.
"Come on," he said, breaking through my swirling thoughts again, "what do you say you spend the rest of your life dealing with me fucking up, huh?"
Thrown off, maybe expecting a bit of cheesiness after all, but pleased that wasn't the route he took, I laughed. "Well, I've dealt with you pretty well this far," I offered, extending my hand toward him.
He slid the ring on and I felt the tears sting at my eyes when he leaned down and kissed it before moving up and sealing his lips over mine.
It was an important moment for me.
Not only because he loved me. He had loved me for a while. But because he was telling me that he never planned to stop. And, being someone who never had that kind of promise before, it meant the world.
But... I was rethinking my agreement to the whole marriage thing.
Not because I changed my mind about Renny.
Oh, no.
Let's just say... I had been completely unprepared for the girls club.
