I thought it was gl...

“Smile, Natalie,” Callum whispered before he walked onstage.
So I smiled while he thanked another woman for the crisis plan I had written. I smiled when he pinned my grandmother’s sapphire brooch to her dress. I even smiled when his message came in, canceling our nineteenth appointment at the county clerk’s office.
Then I walked out with our unsigned marriage license papers in my purse and call...
