"Ok, so you think this all looks good?"
"Oh yes Miss Wonka. I think it all seems perfect. What's the date of the wedding?"
I put my head down and talked very quietly. "I don't know."
"You don't know? Oh, I get it. Don't worry miss. He won't be mad at you long. I'm sure that he's getting over it as we speak." Wonka walked through the door at that very moment.
"Chocol, what are you doing in here? You are supposed to be working! Get back in the kitchen where you belong."
"No Chocol, don't listen to him. Stay here."
He gave me a very angry look, but then looked away from me. "He's supposed to be working."
"I'm aware of that sir. However, he is entitled to stay here with me and help me with a few things."
"Things? In your room? What could he possibly…"
"Wedding plans, ok? And I'm very concerned about it. I'm not sure if we should even get married the way we're acting."
"You don't want to marry me?"
"Of course I do. I want to marry you more than anything I have ever wanted. I'm just scared, that's all."
He looked at me now, question marks in his eyes. "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that you don't love me enough. I mean, why would you? There's nothing really that good about me. I'm scared that I'm not good enough for you."
"Not good enough? Bridget, you are so much more than enough for me. And I do love you enough. You don't know how I feel. I just really don't want to hurt you. I don't mean to be angry at you, but I just want to get to know you better. I know you had a disturbing dream, but it was only a dream. It didn't mean anything."
"Yes I know. I guess I just needed an excuse."
"Yeah, I know."
We sat in an awkward silence, both thinking about what to say next. "End of May."
"What?"
"I think our wedding should be in the end of May."
May? That wasn't a bad idea I guess.
"Oh, I see. Sure. The end of May sounds nice to me."
"How about the… 27th? What do you think?"
"Sounds good. I should have everything sorted out by then."
He nodded his head and walked out the door, Chocol following close behind him. My wedding day was going to be great.
