Novel1Chloe was starting to feel a bit on edge. Connor noticed it too. She hadn't quite been herself lately-her sleep was
all over the place, and she was getting tangled up in nightmares every night. When Connor tried to ask her
about it, Chloe just waved it off, saying she'd
handle it. Connor, not convinced, had Teddy dig into what might've happened to her three days ago.
But amidst the chaos, there was a glimmer of good news. Chloe's family record book replacement had finally
shown up. It had been hand-delivered all the way from Eldridge City, where her records had now been officially
moved. Connor handed the book over to Chloe with a cheeky grin, "Looks like we're officially on the spage
now. You're not getting rid ofthat easily."
Chloe took the book and gave him a sidelong glance, "When did | ever lose you?" Connor, slightly miffed, fiddled
with his blue earring, "Trust me, you forgot aboutat least once."
Not in the mood for banter, Chloe opened the book, her fingers tracing over the new names. A rare smile tugged
at her lips-the first one Connor had seen in days. Taking advantage of the moment, Connor slid in next to her,
"Hey, tomorrow's Friday, last day of the month. How about we make it official and get our marriage license?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"And it's our three-year anniversary," he added. Chloe remembered. They'd first met at the Diamond Club on the
last day of October. She nodded, "Alright, let's do it."
Connor was thrilled; he didn't expect her to agree so quickly. Overjoyed, he scooped her up and spun her around,
making her forget all about her recent worries, if only for a little while.
The next morning, Connor was up bright and early. By the tChloe rolled out of bed, he was already dressed,
checking himself out in the mirror. He was rocking a crisp white shirt, and his hair was styled to perfection. With
his striking features, he looked like he'd just walked out of a comic book. Even Chloe couldn't help but stare for a
moment.
Seeing her awake, Connor quickly turned, eager to help, "Here you go, love. Slippers, at your service." As she got
up, he steadied her with a hand, "Careful now, don't trip."
When Chloe headed to the bathroom, she found Connor had already squeezed out her toothpaste and laid out
her towel. His sudden attentiveness was a bit much. "Connor, I'm about to shower," she said, trying to shoo him
away.
"I'll help you," he offered with a grin.
"Connor, can you just act normal for once?"
His grin widened, "We're picking up our marriage license today. Gotta make sure you don't get cold feet."
Chloe rolled her eyes, "I'm not backing out. Now, out you go!"
"Alright, alright," he laughed, closing the door behind him.
On the way to the registry office, Connor couldn't hide his excitement. Chloe was feeling pretty good too This
was a big day for her-a turning point. They hadn't told anyone about their plans, treating it like just another day.
Once at the registry office,
everything went smoothly. They got their photos taken, papers stamped, and finally, they had those two red
marriage certificates in hand.

Connor let out a relieved breath as they stepped outside. Chloe glanced atthe certificates and said, “Letsee
them."
Connor immediately tucked them close, "Nope, from now on, they're staying with me. You're not touching them."
"Why's that?" Chloe asked, puzzled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Because you need them to get divorced, and I'm not giving you any chances," he teased.
Chloe thought he was being ridiculous, worrying about divorce right after getting hitched. She made e a playful
grab for the certificates, and they ended up in a light-hearted tussle in front of the office. Connor, using his
height to keep them out of réach, had her hopping to try and get them.
In the midst of their playful squabble, they almost bumped into a pregnant woman. Chloe was about to apologize
when she froze. It was Linda. And next to her, Lucas. Both holding their own set of red marriage certificates.
