Okay, thank you, she replied, conceding with a small nod.
Lance worked silently in the kitchen, and once everything was spotless, he emerged to find Bettie. Feel like taking a walk? he asked.
That sounds nice, Bettie agreed, eager to explore the neighborhood she hadnt yet seen.
Hold on a second. I need to grab something, Lance announced suddenly as he arrived at the doorway.
He dashed upstairs and returned in no more than two minutes, clutching a black bag. Lets go.
Curious, Bettie couldnt help but inquire, Whats in the bag?
Wedding candies, Lance revealed with a shake of the bag. Theyre for our neighbors.
Bettie found herself at a loss for words.
As they strolled through the neighborhood, Lance would warmly greet each neighbor they encountered, offering them a piece of candy. It was his way of sharing their joy, announcing their union to the world.
The community was affluent and welcoming, eager to make new friends.
As they accepted the wedding candies, everyone warmly declared the couple a perfect match and showered them with well-wishes.
Bettie, skilled in the art of pretense, managed only an awkward smile in response.
Lets head home, she suggested quietly.
But I still have candies left.

Humph! Bettie huffed.
After distributing the wedding candies, they returned home and each retired to their respective rooms for some rest.
Three days later, they visited Betties parents.
Corless and Amirah, treating Lance and Bettie with great affection, made them feel at home.
While Corless engaged Lance in conversation in the living room, Amirah seized the opportunity for a private chat with Bettie. How are things going between you and Lance? she inquired gently.
Mom, were doing well, He treats me kindly, Bettie responded.
Thats good to hear. Amirah nodded and then paused before continuing, By the way, how long is Lance off work?
I didnt asked, Bettie admitted.
