    Summary

    “So it appears we are at an impasse.”

    “I suppose we are, my lord.”

    “I told you, I hate that nickname.”

    “I know. It’s why I love it.”

    “So, will you tell your Mother, then? That I absolutely want no part of this royal affair of a wedding, least of all to you.”

    “You know, I never admit defeat, Sharma. I don’t think I’ll start with you.”

    Kate and Anthony are, somehow, a perfect couple. They battle their wits all too often, to the exasperation and utter delight of their families. Despite their relationship having taken many forms, enemies, to hesitant lovers, and now fiancees, the relationship has undoubtedly run its course. There is no spark; there is no fire. There's nothing left but simple niceties and platitudes all the while a monstrous wedding is being planned by their mothers. Kate wants out. She had never pictured marriage in her many, many 5 and 10 year plans, and she certainly does not want this one. Anthony, for once, agrees with her.

    The catch? Neither one of them will admit it.
