course I do, that’s why I’m your husband.’ He chuckled.
    She looked up at him and gave him a kiss.
    Sahara enjoyed the dance, and the next one and the next one, but on the third dance she wanted to sit down.
    ‘I’m feeling a bit tired. I need to sit down.’
    ‘Can I sit with you?’ he asked.
    ‘I would really like some me time.’
    ‘That’s going to be hard in a place full of people.’
    ‘I know, but I don’t think I can keep answering your questions.’
    ‘Okay, how about I shut up? Will you let me sit with you then?’
    She laughed, she was beginning to warm up to him.
    ‘Yes, but you mustn’t say a word.’
    ‘I promise.’
    Instead of returning to the bridal table, they sat on a random table. People had begun to get drunk and were all over the place. She watched everyone, it was one of the things she loved to do.
    ‘I love people watching,’ she said. ‘I love just watching them smile, laugh, love.’
    ‘Yeah?’
    ‘Yeah, it makes me happy.’
    ‘You’re so…’
    ‘So what?’
    ‘Different.’
    She laughed, but chose not to answer. Deep within her she wished things were different, but there weren’t and she wasn’t going to spend those precious moments wishing they were different.
    ‘I can live with that,’ she said finally.
    ‘I’d like to take you out to dinner sometime.’
    ‘What did I say about no talking?’
    ‘I’m sorry, but I couldn’t resist. You started it anyway.’
    She laughed.
    ‘So can I?’
    Her face suddenly went serious.
    ‘I’m sorry, but I can’t.’
    ‘Why not? I t’s just dinner.’
    ‘I just can’t.’
    He gazed at her a moment, she was really making this hard for him. The more she challenged him, the more he wanted to persist.
    ‘ Do you want me to beg, is that it, because I’ll beg. I’ll even go on my knees if I have to.’
    ‘I’m sorry, I can’t.’ She stood up and without warning walked away, and out of the room.
    Emily noticed, she gazed up at Myles a little annoyed, and then ran after Sahara. Myles walked in Eugene’s direction.
    ‘What did you do?’
    ‘Nothing! Christ! What is it with you people?’
    ‘I told you, she’s not like your other girls.’
    ‘I never said she was. I really do like her.’
    ‘Jus t leave it alone. Just this one, just leave her alone.’
    ‘Why? At least tell me why.’
    ‘I can’t.’
    ‘Really, what is this secrecy about?’
    ‘It’s a family thing, and we respect that.’
    He felt a tad frustrated. Things had never been this hard just to get a woman’s phone number.
    ‘Fine, I won’t ask anymore. But I will get her number.’
    ‘Why do you have to insist on being difficult? That’s the problem with you.’
    Eugene raised his eyebrows.
    ‘Why can’t you just leave things alone? There are so many beautiful women out there.’ He pointed around them.
    ‘I don’t want them, I want her.’
    ‘But you can’t have her.’
    ‘That isn’t for you to decide.’ He pushed back the chair. ‘Now if you’ll excuse me.’ He stood up.
    Myles watched helplessly, Eugene was being the prick he always was. He wanted what he wanted and it didn’t matter what anyone said. He was going to get it anyway.

    ‘Are you okay?’ Emily walked into the ladies restroom where Sahara patted her face with a wet tissue.
    ‘What are you doing here? Go back out and be at your wedding.’
    ‘I can’t, not if you’re not out there with me.’
    ‘Honey.’ She turned and smiled at her best-friend. ‘I’m fine. You know how this works.’
    ‘I do, but don’t expect me to get used to it.’
    ‘I’m not, but just for today, just let it go.’
    ‘No…you – ’
    ‘Don’t say it.’
    ‘Fine, do you need anything?’
    ‘What I need is for you to go out there and have fun.’
    ‘Was it that guy?’ Emily wouldn’t let it go.
    ‘No, as a matter of fact I found it quite nice. Its nice being hit on.’ She giggled.
    ‘But you don’t want to lead him on.’
    ‘Yes, that’s right.’
    ‘Don’t
