Jett Westgate: "The weather's nice today. Let's get this done and save everyone the trouble."
Butler Lancaster walked over with a tray, gently placing two glasses of lemonade on the coffee table.
Annelise Valentine picked up her glass and took a sip, trying to quell the impatience rising within her. "There's no need to be in such a rush. You need a household registration book to get the marriage license, and Zane's..."
"You only need an ID to get the license now," Jett Westgate cut in.
Annelise Valentine was at a loss for words. Her flight was tonight. She had planned for every contingency but had never expected Jett Westgate to be in such a hurry, insisting they get the license today.
'No, absolutely not. Whatever happens, they can't get that license today. I need to find an excuse to stall.'
Zane Patterson suddenly spoke up. "I lost my ID."
"Then we'll just go to the registry office and get a temporary one issued."
