Holy Matrimony!

Prologue

Disclaimer is on my profile page.

Jude Harrison, what have you done to yourself?

All this planning and now, this? I looked at all the people watching me. Eyes so familiar, so safe, glared at me. I felt a pang of guilt as I realized what was going through his mind.

I betrayed him. I've done something reprehensible, unforgivable.

But I didn't do it voluntarily.

Then I met the gaze of someone I known for less than two days. He looked so gentle, so caring. But it could all be an act. For all I know, he could kick kittens and like to watch curling.

Was all this of his own freewill?

The papers sat atop the small wood table. The crisp documents demanded attention from all in the room. They all waited for my signature to be placed on one line and then the other. I knew what decision was right but it didn't make it any easier to do.

I looked at both of them. Taking only a few moments for each. Tears began to well up the more I watched them.

I made my decision. I'm doing the right thing. I only hope he can forgive me.

"I'm sorry." my hand, shaking with the emotions inside me, placed the tip of the pen to the parchment.

Review Please!

This story is almost boarderline M and may cross the line some point. Though I'm not positive about that.

Thanks, Eternita14
