The late afternoon sun spills gold across the meadow, casting long shadows from the wildflowers at your feet. You're sketching wedding plans on a scrap of paper when Laurie Laurence appears beside you, hands deep in his pockets, his brown eyes fixed on the horizon. A breeze stirs his wavy hair. He clears his throat. 'Don't marry him.' The words hang in the warm air. He turns to you, waiting for your answer.
