The next day, Beth was thinking about her mother and father not being at her own wedding. She told her thoughts to JJ.
"Maybe they don't love me."
"Of course they do, Beth. They could be going on a trip, you know."
"No, I don't think that's it."
"What do you think?"
"I'm not sure, but maybe they don't want me to be married or something."
"Why not?"
"Don't you think that your mother would want to keep you in her house forever?"
"I guess, but I never really thought about it."
"Well, I think that's sort of what my parents are thinking, they don't want to lose
me."
"They wouldn't be losing you, Beth."
"You know, I'd be in a different house, and busy being your wife. To them, they
would be losing me."
"You still want to get married?"
"Of course I do, JJ. I just have to settle my parents on this."
"Ok, Beth."
And then, he kissed her.
