The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Don't you see I'm helping you? If Sherman had even the slightest liking for you, he wouldn't have said those words about not hoping for anything more from him. There's no hope for a wedding, but you should be happy as long as he's willing to get a marriage certificate with you. So stop throwing a tantrum here!"

Rita laughed out of frustration. "Of course there won't be a wedding since you forced him into marrying me! I'm not the one he likes, so why would he give me a wedding? As for the marriage certificate, don't ever bring it up in front of me again! I don't even know how to face him anymore, and this is all thanks to you! I should really give you a 'Dad of the Year' award."

Rita slumped back in her chair, feeling somewhat defeated. She had no idea how she should go about her life anymore. Everything had seemed surreal ever since she was discharged from the hospital; nothing had gone according to her wishes.

She had thought that she would be able to repair her friendship with Sherman once she gave him the evidence, but it turned out to be futile.
