Chapter 33 Wedding Night

• "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of God, and everyone here, to join together Hollis Genovese and Ugo Chike in holy matrimony."
• Everything the priest said afterwards faded when Ugo squeezed my hand back. She glanced up at me, and I saw it. The lioness in her eyes wasn’t gone, but simply asleep.
• "Hollis Genovese, do you take Ugo chike to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish. Do you promise to be faithful to her until death do you part?"
