So things are moving pretty fast for Alayna and Ordell. Reluctantly, he asks her if she wants to move in with him.

“Sure,” she says. She brings nothing with her, not a penny. Just the clothes on her back



Despite the fact that Alayna is a lot older than Ordell and has quit her job almost immediately upon moving in, they get on like a house on fire.

She’s happy to give him his alone time while she goes out fishing. She sells the fish for a little bit of cash which she assures him is plenty and totally as much as they would get if she had a job.

She convinces him easily enough. He takes her out to a museum and pulls out a huge diamond in the middle of the night.

She said yes!

Ordell is unable to contain his excitement.

There is no time to lose. After a few days of planning, Ordell and Alayna are finally ready to get married. Oh dear, Alayna is already not super impressed with Ordell’s friends.

No matter. Ordell is in love. The happy couple have become husband and wife!

Alayna’s super secret pro and con list:

Pros:

Great eyes



Driven



Interesting



Adorably shy



Always nice to me

Cons:

Terrible friends



Absolutely TERRIBLE friends



Bad organizational skills (who hires a caterer that doesn’t even bake cake during a wedding?)







Of course, Ordell decides to find a book instead of socializing with his guests during the wedding.





How did Ordell get so lucky?
