Gunner: Her Choice

I stand shocked by Candice’s words. Turning, I watch as Emmi walks towards where Candice is stood, and Dante coming over, meeting us.

“Do you know?” I ask.

“No idea. I guess this is how she’ll tell us who she has chosen.” His words sound sour.

“What's up, Dante?” Zane looks at him.

“Nothing, I just thought she respected us a bit more to tell us in person before announcing it for her own mother’s gain. She should have told us first, we know she is picking you, Zane, but still, she could have told us first.”

I listen to Dante, and I have to agree to some extent. I thought she would tell us.

“So, as my lovely mother has said, I am here today to announce who I will be marrying.” I watch as she smiles at us, although Dante looks ready to kill her.

“You see, this arrangement was created years ago. Many don’t understand that the Wolversons tried to cancel it and find a new way of clearing my family’s debt, my parents refused. Once the Wolversons had died, their sons also tried, to no avail.”
