Chapter Text
Jane, Maura and Angela are in a wedding dress shop.
"What do you think?"
"It's beautiful," replies Angela
Jane looks at Maura.
"You don't like it."
"It's not really you," replies Maura
"Alright next."
Jane disappears into the dressing room.
"I know what you're doing."
"What am I doing," replies Maura
"That's the 7th dress you've turned your nose up at."
"I didn't say I didn't like those 7 dresses."
"No, but your eyes did."
"I'm just trying to be supportive."
"Be more supportive and less jealous."
"I'm not jealous."
"Can you say the same about Casey?"
"I'm..."
"You're in love with my daughter, right."
Maura looks at Angela.
"You're not denying it."
A tear drops from Maura's eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset."
"I've tried, so hard to...not feel this way."
"Tell her how you feel."
Maura shakes her head and wipes her eyes.
Jane comes out in another dress.
"Ok, give it to me straight."
"Maura" replies Angela
Another tear drops from Maura's eyes.
"That bad."
"You look beautiful," replies Maura
"Stunning."
"I think this is the one," Jane says
Angela and Maura nod.
"Oh thank God, I thought we'd be here forever."
Jane goes back to the dressing room.
"Tell her, before it's too late."
"Angela, she's getting married," replies Maura
"She needs to know how you feel."
"You're just saying that because you don't like Casey."
"My dislike for Charles has nothing to do with it. You two belong together."
"She doesn't like me as anything more than a friend."
"She's said that to you, with words," Angela replies
"She's getting married...I want her to be happy."
"Sweetie, she loves you," replies Angela
"That may be so but it's not the same thing."
"She's in love with you."
"She told you that," replies Maura
"I know Jane."
"And what if you're wrong...I'm sorry but I can't gamble on that."
"If you don't you'll always wonder what if, and Jane will marry the wrong person."
"He's right to her."
"Only because she thinks you don't feel the same way."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because I know love when I see it, she doesn't show it with Charles."
Jane walks out dress in hand.
"Ready to go"
Maura and Angela nod.
"At least promise me you'll think about it."
"Ok" replies Maura
The hen party.
"So tomorrow, how do you feel?" asks Amy
"Scared, happy all of that."
"Let me give you some advice..." says Amy
"Here we go," replies Jane
"Don't go to bed angry."
"That's actually good advice, thank you."
Jane turns to Maura.
"What about you, got some advice for me."
"Don't marry him" replies Maura
"What, have you been talking to my mother."
"She made me realise some home truths."
"I thought you liked Casey."
"I do."
"But," replies Jane
"Nothing, just forget I said anything."
"Oh, this is my jam...Jane."
"You lot go, I want to rest my legs."
Maura tries to get up, Jane puts a hand on Maura's arm.
"Maura, what's going on?"
"Nothing"
"Maura, what happened between you two?"
"Nothing," replies Maura
"Then why don't you want me to marry him."
"Because."
"Because of what?"
"Because I...because I want you to marry me."
"What?"
"I'm in love with you, Jane" replies Maura
Amy walks over to them.
"Ok, this is your hen party. You should be enjoying yourself."
Amy pulls Jane up.
"Maura."
Maura shakes her head. A tear drops from her eyes.
The wedding day.
There's a knock on the door.
"Maura"
"Can I come in."
Angela opens the door for Maura to enter.
"Maura, I'm so sorry," says Angela
"It's ok, you were right, I had to tell her, at least now I know,"
"I'll leave you two to it."
Angela grips Maura's hand as she leaves.
"You look beautiful...sorry."
"You don't have to be."
Maura takes a seat in the nearest chair.
"Maura, I love Casey."
"I know," replies Maura
"I'm going to marry him."
"I know that too."
"I wish I felt the same way, I'm sorry."
"Let's just agree to stop apologizing."
Jane sighs.
"I can't have you beside me."
"I understand," replies Maura
"But I still want you there."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes" replies Jane
"Ok, I'll sit with your mum."
Maura gets up walking to the door.
"Wait"
Jane hugs Maura.
The ceremony.
"If anyone knows of any reason why these two people should not be joined in holy matrimony, may they speak now or forever hold their peace."
Angela takes Maura's hand.
"Ok..."
"Wait"
"What's wrong?" askes Casey
"I'm so sorry...I can't marry you."
"Why not?" replies Casey
"There's someone else."
"Is it Maura?"
Jane nods.
"Maybe you two should have this conversation in private." replies the priest
"You are not leaving me for her," Casey shouts
Angela looks at Maura.
"I'm sorry."
Jane runs down the aisle, she stops when she gets to Maura's row.
"What are you waiting for?" Angela says
Jane takes Maura's hand in hers.
They go to Maura's car.
"What now?"
"Just drive," replies Jane
