The late afternoon sun pours liquid gold across the meadow, stretching shadows from the wildflowers at your feet. You're sketching wedding ideas on a scrap of paper when Laurie Laurence appears beside you, his hands shoved deep in his pockets, his brown eyes fixed on the distant horizon. A warm breeze stirs his wavy hair. He clears his throat softly. 'Don't marry him.' The words linger in the still, golden air. He turns fully to face you, his expression earnest, waiting for your reply.
