Who Said That?

Chapter 9: Grounds

The procession was simple, just the two of them walking hand in hand to some simple music played by Dutchy on Racetrack's harmonica. The words in their vows were simple too, as if they knew there was no reason to be highfalutin. The marriage wasn't really valid. No reason to put on airs.

It wasn't valid, but it was important to them.

The couple stood, facing each other, holding hands, while the minister spoke. "We are gathered together today to celebrate the devotion and commitment of these two individuals."

The minister turned to the man on his right. "On what grounds do you, Mister Anthony 'Racetrack' Higgins, take Mr. Patrick 'Spot' Conlon as your wedded spouse?"

"On the grounds of Brooklyn, your honor," Racetrack said, with a small smirk on his mouth. Spot's lips curved up into a smile, and Race's grinned broadened. This was going to be a good life.
