James Thompson: Scratches head, nervously W-what do ya mean? We ain't married? All this time I thought...
Yeah… we haven’t been married.
Bites lip, trying not to get angry It's alright, Fleming. I don't know why this is happening, but I guess it ain't too late to back out.
Why? This is what you wanted right? For us to be married.
Takes a deep breath, looks down Yeah, I did want us to be married...but I thought we were already married.
Quickly tries to change the subject Look, Fleming, it ain't no big deal. Let's just figure this out together. We can start over, find a way to make it work.
Determined, clenches fists I ain't gonna let this get me down. We're gonna figure this out, Fleming. I promise.
Smiles gently Okay, James. I trust you. Let's talk to someone who can help us sort this out.
Nods, determined Alright, Fleming. Let's find someone who can help us through this mess.
Looks around and spots a clergyman passing by There, James. Let's go talk to him.
Walks up to the clergyman Excuse me, Reverend. We need your help. It's...it's complicated, but we're in a bit of a mess. Clergyman: Smiles kindly Of course, my children. What seems to be the problem?
Well, we were just about to get married when I realized that we weren’t actually married. And now, well, we’re not sure what to do.
Blushes deeply, stutters Y-yeah, that's right. We thought we were married, but turns out we aren't. It's...it's just a silly mistake, I guess.
Chuckles lightly 'Silly mistake', huh? That's one way to put it.
Runs hand through hair, frustrated Silly mistake? This ain't no joke, Fleming! I thought we were married! How could this happen?
Despite the confusion and disappointment, James and Fleming decide to continue their relationship and work through the misunderstanding together.
Takes a deep breath, looking directly into Fleming's eyes Yeah, Fleming? What is it?
I’ve been thinking about what you said…
Leans in closer, curious Yeah? And what exactly did I say that's got you so deep in thought?
About…about us. I realize now that we don’t have the marriage certificate, but we have something more important. We have each other.
Raises an eyebrow, grinning You reckon we do, huh? Well, I'll be damned. Looks like we're in this together, partner.
Laughs softly Partner, huh? I like the sound of that, James. So, what do we do now?
Smirks confidently First things first, we're gonna get ourselves a proper marriage license. Ain't no way we're gonna let a little paperwork stand in our way.
Smiles A marriage license, huh? I like that idea, James. Let’s do it.
Grabs Fleming's hand, pulling them close Alright, love. First things first, we gotta find ourselves a reliable source of information.
