Did you guys really marry?" Tyler asked wide eyed.

"Yes" Lillian answered truthfully.

"When did this happen?" He asked. "Last time I checked you guys didn't even want to hear each others name"

"Things happen" Lillian said and shrugged.

"They really do" Tyler muttered still in shock as he took a seat beside Adrian.

Adrian, "I'll pour you wine, since am in a good mood today"

"Cheers to you guys" Tyler raised his wine poured by Adrian still shocked tho

"Cheers" both Lillian and Adrian said.

After taking a sip Tyler looked at the empty seat beside him. "Still expecting someone?"

Lillian looked at Adrian, waiting for an answer. She couldn't get him to say who was coming.

"Why don't you take a guess" Adrian said and smirked.

Tyler, "I'm definitely not doing that with you."

Just then the door clicked open followed by clicks of heels.
