It Matters How This Ends Part 39

"Well, here we are", I parked the car and got out.
Piper was still sitting on the passenger seat, sulking with her arms crossed. I walked to her side and opened the door for her. She didn't move a muscle.

"I'm not getting out of this car, Alex."

"Oh, yes you are."

"No, I am not. So have fun at the meeting and make sure you tell her that I want white lillies. And purple orchids."

The lady stood up.

"Yes, and you must be the happy couple."

"More like the barefoot couple", Piper mumbled and gave me the dirty look.

"Yes, it is very nice to meet you, Miss Rogers.", I ignored Piper and shook her hand. We all sat down at the table and ordered drinks.
