Handing Alex a drink, Layton grinned with pride. "Would you be my best man?" Alex raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Me?" Layton chuckled. "Well, it's just the two of us in here; should I be inviting a ghost?" +5 Leaning forward, Alex rested his elbows on his knees, one hand hanging at his side while the other held his glass.

Recently, I spent over a month living with her dad, and only then did Nalani agree to marry me. Please, don't say that."
