No, no, no. I kicked out of my head that image of a sweaty and naked

Aaron doing—

No.

“Okay,” Aaron said, zipping closed his emptied suitcase. “And if you are

sure we can share the bed, then we will. With a little luck, this one won’t

shatter too.”

A whole new mental image ambushed me. One very similar but that now

“It’s settled then,” I said, getting rid of those unwanted thoughts and

him a rundown of how we’d be occupying our day instead.

“In the Wedding Cup”—I sighed—“Team Bride, which is composed of

all the females invited to the bachelor-slash-bachelorette party, competes

against Team Groom, which will be composed of the male ones.” I said that

last part with sarcasm. “Real refreshing, huh? Boys against girls, competing
