(I nod, my smile so wide that my face feels it might crack. And… though it will likely be a bit before we do tie the knot… I look over at Thomas, my eyes searching. I turn back to Serp a moment later. I’d like you to be there. I think we both would. No matter if it’s a big wedding or at a courthouse, I’ve been wondering if… I reach out and lay a hand on Serp’s shoulder. Anna, would you be my bridesmaid?)
(I smile, then take one of Anna's hands It'll be a few years, at the least. But we're sure about this. We want you to at least be there when we tie the knot. I grin cheekily You could be my best man, even if you are a lady.)
