---- Chapter 3 Before I could get a word in, Melody draped herself all over Thomas. "Thomas, I just remembered that a basketball tournament that I've been looking forward to is starting this afternoon." Thomas pinched her face lightly. "Why didn't you say so sooner?" Melody pouted before retorting, "Like I said, I just remembered! It's not like I forgot on purpose! If you're not free to accompany me, I'll be fine going by myself. Besides, I won't be losing out since there'll be plenty of hot guys hitting on me. Who knows, I might even meet the love of my life!" She rose to her feet and prepared to take her leave. Panicked by her words, Thomas grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace. "I didn't say I wasn't going to go with you!" He looked at me with a troubled expression. "Ally..." ---- My words were dripping with disdain as I spat, ''The bride and groom both need to be present for a marriage registration. Does the law require you to be Melody's partner to watch a basketball tournament too?" Thomas' face darkened. "Mel just has a playful streak. She's been looking forward to this tournament for along time. Are we going to disappoint her just because we need to register our marriage?" "You never planned to listen to me from the start, so why are you even asking for my opinion?" "Alice..." "That's enough! It's not like I'm stopping you from going. Besides, we've already postponed our marriage registration three times. Nothing's going to change if we add one more time to the list. "Melody is the most important person in your life. You should go with her." The me of the past would have gotten angry and argued with him about his decisions. But I couldn't ---- even muster the energy to start an argument with him now. Besides, I also no longer had the desire to register our marriage. As he saw I wasn't putting up a fight, Thomas' face softened. "I see that you've matured. Don't worry, there are three more days till the wedding. I promise you that we'll definitely register our marriage before the ceremony!" He left with Melody after making that promise. She acted coy with him, telling him that she didn't want to walk. He scolded her playfully for being lazy before scooping her up into his arms. Melody giggled as she snuggled against him. She turned to look at me, showing me her middle finger before shooting a provoking smile in my direction. " Thomas won't be coming home tonight. He's going to have fun with me, so don't get in our way, Alice!" I was sick of their ridiculous behavior. I aimed my phone at Melody and recorded her actions before saving the video to a folder that I had created for her and Thomas.
