I tossed my arm over my eyes. Oh God, Lacey, what did you do? What did you do? And the sad part was that I couldn’t even blame drunkenness this time. It was straight up bad judgment and horniness.

I gingerly stood up and looked for my clothes. I tried to rehearse what I would say to Jude. I felt torn between either sneaking out like a guilty person or making a scene in which I blamed him for my bad judgment.

I made my way out of his bedroom and found him sitting on the couch, his back to me with his phone in his hand. He didn’t hear me behind him, his phone had his undivided attention.

I looked over his shoulder to see what he was looking at. I was surprised, so surprised that I guess I must have made a sound.

He looked up at me and smiled wanly. “That expression on your face was exactly like mine when I found these on my phone.”

He showed me a series of selfies of us looking happy and ridiculous. We were posing with Elvis who I assumed officiated our ceremony. I felt sick to my stomach, not because I’d done something so insanely stupid but because I’d never seen myself look happier than the moments caught in those pictures. I looked so carefree, so sure of myself, so happy. And it made me sad to think the inebriated version of myself was the daring, happy one, while sober me was dull and too scared to take chances. Well, I thought guiltily, both versions of me apparently liked having sex with Jude way too much.

“While you were napping I spoke to my dad’s lawyer again. I tried to reason with them, but apparently they’re beyond reason,” Jude said breaking me away from my thoughts. “So Lacey, I have a proposition for you.”

I sat down and tried to look receptive. I didn’t think I wanted to hear his proposition, but I tried to keep an open mind, meanwhile, I shut him down in my head.

“I propose we stay married—”

“You’re insane!” I was suddenly standing up.

“Calm down, calm down, just hear me out,” he said, standing up as well. His brown eyes looked slightly offended.

“No—”

“Lacey, I’m begging you. Just sit down. Let’s have a conversation like reasonable adults. We’ve done enough arguing and bad decision-making for a lifetime in a span of twenty-four hours. Will it really hurt any to just have a discussion?”

He had a point. I grudgingly sat down, folded my arms across my chest and waited for him to continue.

“I’ll give you half of everything.”

I almost fell off the sofa. “What? What are you talking about?” I shook my head as if to clear it.

“If you stay married to me, I’ll give you half of my trust fund.”

“Let me get this right, you want me to condemn myself to a living hell—”

“More like purgatory.”

“Okay then. So, you want me to live in purgatory indefinitely for a lousy inheritance.”

“Not indefinitely. Just six months. And I’m set to inherit two billion dollars.
