When Ryan agreed with me, I was so relieved. It felt so good to know that we were actually feeling the same way and that he wanted to take a break too.

We talked for a long time at the coffee shop, about Kay and Brent and all the stress they were going through just to pull off an average wedding.

We talked about our own reasons for getting caught up in the excitement, for wanting to get married ourselves, for going so far as to hire a professional matchmaker and going through with having her arrange a mate for us.

Thinking about it now, it sounds ridiculous. I can't believe I went that far just because I wanted my own special day too.

I felt great for the first few days. Lighter, freer. It felt good to get Mom and Stacy off my back about the wedding and babies.

Of course, I haven't exactly told them that we broke up. I just told them we canceled the wedding plans for the time being so they'd leave me alone without having to switch gears to sympathy and hearing what a prick Ryan is.

Sometimes they're just too much on my side.

There's no way I could handle listening to Stacy talk shit about him. Ryan didn't do anything wrong. It was my idea to take a break.

Maybe this was more than I had in mind, but I can't blame Ryan for breaking my heart. This was all my idea.

"How's Rye?" Kay asks nonchalantly as we sit at her dining room table wrapping ribbons around little bags of candy for favors. "I haven't heard you talk about him for awhile."

I shrug. I haven't told Kay anything. She's way too busy with last minute wedding stuff for me to dump my own crap on her.

"More ribbon," I mutter with my hand out. I don't know if it's an attempt to change the subject or not. I kinda don't want to get into it and at the same time I kinda wish I had someone to talk to about it, and I kinda want to know what Ryan's told Brent.

"Brent said Ryan didn't stay for the bachelor party," Kay mentions casually as she hands me another spool of ribbon.

Of course, I know her better than that. She's fishing for info.

My brow furrows at the news though.

"But Ryan's his best man," I point out, "how could he skip the bachelor party? Wasn't he in charge?"

Kay's quiet long enough to make me look up at her. She's sitting perfectly still, and looking at me suspiciously. Then her eyes fall to my hands as I continue tying the ribbon into a bow and one perfectly waxed brow shoots up on her forehead.

"Where's your ring?" The question is equal parts concern and shock.

Shit. Frankly, I'm surprised it took her this long to notice, but there's no getting around it now.

"Took it off," I shrug as nonchalantly as possible while not looking at her at all.

I hear Kay make a sucking noise and I can
