Chapter 21

The Van Nuys county clerk’s office looked to Lance more like a school building than a courthouse. One story brick, with a wing of windows framed in white siding.

Inside, the bored clerk gave them a form and a perfunctory smile. They moved aside to fill it out.

Jen took a pair of half-rim glasses out of her purse. “Look at this. It says we can use any last name we want. We just can’t change our first names. How utterly bizarre.”

Lance agreed. “Shall we use our real surnames then?” He pulled out his license and squinted at it. “Wouldn’t you rather be Mrs. Davies than Mrs. Korpchek?”

“Absolutely. I’m not marrying some stranger called Korpchek. Jeremy has terrible taste in surnames.”

“I imagine he took what he could get.” Lance filled in ‘Davies’ as the last name.

Jen’s signature was copperplate perfection.

“That doesn’t look anything like your normal scrawl,” he joked. “Are you planning on denying the marriage?”

“It’s not an autograph, darling. I have beautiful writing when it comes to contracts. I don’t want any mistakes.” She handed him the form. “Are you ready?”

He started to laugh.

She touched her finger to his lips. “No, really. Let’s do it. I want to go to work a married lady.”

His throat swelled. She meant it. “I thought we’d find a minister and a nice chapel. I want to buy you flowers.”

“Lance, last time we got married at St Paul’s Cathedral. The archbishop presided. I had a dozen bridesmaids and the dress of my dreams. We had four hundred people at the wedding and reception. And the marriage didn’t work. We don’t need a big to-do. All we need is us.”
