Predestined Marriage

Carl stood at the elevator with butterflies in his stomach.

Jessica told Molly that she was home, but he didn't see her there.

"Why are you looking for her? You can ask her by yourself." Nicole said slowly.

"Mom, please. I'll buy you the handbags you want and the speakers for your square dance. I'll buy you everything. Just hurry up and go to her house to see if she's home." If Nicole was here, he would probably kneel and beg her.
