Cedric Clarke, clearly fed up with his friend's stubborn silence, shot to his feet. "Fine, do whatever you want! But if you really plan on double-crossing us, then we're done. I'm not even married yet if people see I run with someone who can't stay loyal, who'd ever want to marry me?"

Briony shot him a look. "Honestly, I've wanted to do this for ages, but with everything happening lately, it just kept getting pushed back."

"No worries. Now's the perfect time to send it all away!"
