FAV part of BELIEVE ME. I love them so. hahah
I clear my throat, disengaging from James as gently as I can. “Thank you,” I say to him. “You’re welcome,” he says, beaming. “Thanks for inviting me.” “I didn’t invi—” “So!” Adam cuts me off, trying and failing now to fight a smile. “We, um, we just came by to check in with you on a couple of details.” He glances at James. “Right, buddy?” James nods. “Right.” “First of all: Did anyone talk to you about your vows? Do you want to go traditional, or do you plan on saying something—” “He’s going traditional,” Kenji says, answering for me before I’ve had a chance to respond. “I already told Castle.” He turns to face me. “Castle is doing the ceremony, by the way—you know that, right?” “No,” I say, staring at him. “I did not know that. But what makes you think I don’t want to write my own vows?” He shrugs. “You don’t strike me as the kind of guy who likes to get up in front of a crowd and shoot from the heart. But I’m happy to be wrong,” he says. “If you want to write your own vows, stand in front of a ton of people—most of whom you hardly know—and tell Juliette her face reminds you of a sunrise, no problem. Castle is flexible.” “I would rather impale myself on a pike.” “Yeah.” Kenji grins. “That’s what I thought.” Kenji turns away to ask Adam a question, something about ceremony logistics, and I study the back of his head, confused. How? I want to ask. How did you know?
