CARTER:
I really don't want her to leave me. It's the night before our wedding and all I want is to hold her close. I want to fall asleep with her in my arms like she does every night. I hate how the groom can't see the bride on the wedding day until at the church. So what? I'll blinfold myself. All I need to do is her voice.
"Carter." I hear a familiar and distant voice."Carter!"
"What?" I'm yanked from my thoughts. It's not Abby. It's Susan. All I can do is sigh.
" You okay?" she asks. " Big day tomorrow."
"Yeah..." I sigh again." I just...I wanna wake up with her in my arms. tomorrow is supposed to be OUR day ya know?"
" I hate torturing you, but no can do. She's staying with me tonight and you'll see her tomorrow at noon."
"I know."
"Don't worry, when you see her tomorrow, she'll take your breath away."
"Susan, she already does. She doesn't have to wear a white gown to do that."
"You really love her, don't you Carter?"
"Yeah, I always have." I admit. Which I never have done before today. It's a great feeling. Yes. it is.
Just then, Abby walked in all ready to leave with Susan."You ready, Susan?"
"Yup." she smiled looking at me.
ABBY:
I really appreciate everything Susan is doing for me, but truthfully... I don't want to leave him. I feel unsafe without him. And I don't think I'll sleep tonight, and I'll look like hell at my wedding tomorrow.
"Come on Abby."
"Okay." I say as i go to Carter and wrap my arms around his neck and look into his eyes."bye. for now."
"I love you , Abby."
"I love you too. I'll see you at noon."
As I said that he nodded and gave me the saddest look I've ever seen. I leaned in and passionately kissed him on the lips and pulled away."good night."
"Come on love bugs." Susan laughed.
As I began to walk out Carter grabbed my hand and pulled my ear close to his lips. "Take her couch." He whispered in my ear.
I gave him a puzzled look and then looked at the floor so Susan wouldn't understand.
"I uh.. I love you too. G'night."
" I'll see you tomorrow. maybe sooner!" He yelled as we walked out.
"NO!" Susan laughed. "GO Carter."
