“Broken glass? Really?” asked Harwood.
“That’s my family secret to wealth in a bottle right there. Touch the statues.”
“You’re mad,” said Harwood, but there was no point in contesting Vega.
As the cliché goes, there was a method to Vega’s madness. One that greatly pleased Harwood, enough to convince him to splurge on the moodlet manager and motive mobile that Vega begged for and build the house into something livable.
Vega confidently stood for her ice sculpture while wearing her wedding dress (floor-length dresses bothered her). The biggest worries were behind her, about wealth and sculptures. She was able to put the new worry of what to do with a stir-crazy old man in the back of her mind.
Eva calmly painted, trying to stay happy during her pregnancy. She didn’t quite understand the concept of needing to get out. Vega wasn’t too worried about an extra nooboo in the house either.
Regardless of her housemates’ woes and joys, Vega was focused on herself and determined to bring her whirlwind romance with Wei even further. Newly rich, she presented him with a silver band, mostly to symbolize that he had to give up his last name.
“It has been only three months, but yes!”
She told him a bit about her plans, and that she wanted a family and she was very worried that her housemates would either be too old or possibly dead unless she got started on it soon. That, and she wanted a ring on her finger and a cute geek to cuddle at night.
“Heck, the sun’s coming up soon. Wanna do this now?” asked Vega.
Wei had to balance himself out first. The marriage of a very neurotic couple couldn’t start without it. There was also the issue of them marrying in their outerwear, so they came back a few hours later with slightly more reasonable wardrobes.
Neither of them wrote out vows, not really having the time to, instead putting rings on each others’ fingers while saying phrases along the lines of “I love you,” and “You’re the best.”
The sun rose over Twinbrook as they sealed their marriage with a kiss.
Vega was married, a little sooner than she ever expected herself to be, but for someone like Wei, it felt like just the right time.
She took a long look over the Twinbrook sunrise. It seemed like such an insignificant little place, but each day, Vega felt a little more like it was the right place for her and eternity.
And on her wedding morning, it was just another start.
