Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 72

Agnes was completely flabbergasted. Her mind went blank for a moment, then it hit her.

She never quite understood why a guy like Jared would marry her. They didn’t know each other, and it was just a drunken encourfter that brought them together.

She nodded.

“We’ll meet in front of city hall this afternoon,” said Jared.
