"She wasn't feeling too good, so I stayed with her a bit longer." I looked at him apologetically. "Did I keep you waiting?"

"How can you leave your fiance aside and run to take care of someone else? Today is a special day!" He seemed to be reproaching me.

"I didn't plan for it to be like this!" I sighed.

"My sweetheart is too kind," he said with a captivating smile. "She's here to save the world!"
