The building was sparkling clean , with floors so polished they could see their reflection , but only one counter was open . After filling out the forms , Luna glanced around and whispered to Jasper beside her , " Looks like the marriage rate really is dropping . No one's here even on a weekday . " Jasper simply smiled and handed her completed forms to the clerk . The clerk , who was about to take the papers , nearly stumbled over his feet at her remark . This was the largest City Hall in the city ! If they hadn't arranged for a private session for Jasper , the place would've been packed . Lines usually stretch for hours ! Keeping his composure , the clerk smiled and said , " Everything looks good with your paperwork . Let's get your photo taken now . " His expression was warm and sincere , making it easy to feel at ease . Jasper and Luna took their seats . Noting the distance between them , the clerk narrowed his eyes and gestured warmly .

Such a perfect couple was definitely meant to be together forever ! Even after leaving City Hall , Luna's face was still flushed . She kept her head down the whole way , and once in the car , she curled up like an ostrich hiding from the world . How embarrassing ! I turned too quickly . Did my teeth actually bump against Jasper's lips ? No , no . If she kept thinking about it , she'd burn . Luna gently patted her cheeks, but just as she was about to sit up straight , she heard the driver's side door open . Jasper had gotten in . Flustered , she immediately ducked her head again . Then , a pair of strong , well - defined hands reached over , right in front of her . Luna's eyes widened in surprise . She could feel him leaning closer , and her whole body went rigid . What was he doing ? He was so close . She could even see the shadow cast by his long eyelashes . Was he ... going to kiss her ? Luna held her breath and instinctively closed her eyes .
