I adjust the cuffs of my sleeves and straighten my suit jacket inside the parish office. I’m early. I can’t help but wonder if Piper, my wife to be will be late. I have no idea if she’s an early riser or a girl who sleeps in. I do know she can organize the hell out of my desk papers. Our impromptu date the other night consisted of Visa documents… she found them and after I filled them out she made triplicate copies and sent them off with a notarized letter. The marriage certificate would be next.

“You sure about this?” Turning I glance at my friend Beck Nichols. He’s been nothing but upfront and honest with me about this whole marriage thing. He doesn’t like it because I’m not signing a prenup, but he doesn’t know Piper. She’s not after my money. At least I don’t think she is considering she’s never seen my bank statement. If she wanted my house in return for this I’d happily give it to her. She wants me to save her goddaughter and that’s a different kind of incentive.

“Are we really ever sure?” I brush lint off my sleeve. Besides, the who’s who of doctors hasn’t come out yet and I don’t think she subscribes to their publication to know I’ve won an award from them each year for my research. It would feel weird and boastful to tell her because I keep my awards in the closet and not on the mantle in my house.

“Milo, I told you I could look into this immigration issue further, but you didn’t give me a lot of time to work with.” He paces running his hands through his unruly hair and scruff.

“Beck you’re a glorified accountant, not a lawyer and besides we had friend’s of Piper’s check into everything.”

Beck snorts.

“I’m a fucking actuary asshole.” We fake punch each other and he knows I’m kidding. Beck has always been far too serious.

I adjust my suit again.

“You might of heard of them. Isaac Harvey and Natalie Croix from Harvey Croix Law Firm.” I look over my shoulder and Beck’s eyebrows raise a fraction.

“So you had some fancy pants lawyers review everything, is that supposed to make me feel marginally better?” Beck flicks lint off my sleeve. I can tell he’s not going to let this drop until he gets used to the idea, well too bad. It wasn’t like I had more time to waste doing nothing.

“I’ve accepted that this is what it is.” I have to file something by Monday or buy a plane ticket to go home. Home. A place I hadn’t considered in well over a decade and wouldn’t go back to kicking and screaming if I had any say in the matter.

“Don’t blame me when she turns around suing you for alimony and all kinds of ridiculous support when I warned you about this.”

I put my hands on his shoulder shaking him gently, “Beck, relax.”

“I don’t know how you’re so calm about this. I feel like I should be telling you to relax.
