Always so full of surprises. It would be a very interesting marriage, but I had also seen the fire in her eyes when she had walked in. Therefore, I understood if she had made her decision because she wanted to fight her father and show he didn’t have any power over her.
So, when we got far enough away, I stopped and turned around, facing her and seeing a pale look.
“Breathe, Val,” I said, using her little nickname.
“Wh-What did I just... do?” she asked, clearly searching my eyes for answers.
“You can still say no. We aren’t married yet,” I told her. Even though I wanted her not to back out, I didn’t realize just how much her anger had ruled her.
She shook her head. “But I told my father... and you said in a week... we cannot... Oh, what did I do?”
She moved away from me
