He heard Joanie breathe a deep intake, but before he could apologize, Father Keeley reprimanded him in his nasally sounded tone. “Watch your mouth, boy. You are in the house of God.” “Sorry, Father.” Fine, he’d been acting like a jerk since he arrived this afternoon, but he had his reason—he too was a victim in this mess.

Well, she wasn’t complaining so why offer his arm to his bride or touch her fingers? Besides touching Joanie was his downfall. Doing it again would be plain stupid. No way would he hold his unwanted bride’s hand. Not going to happen again, not in this fucking lifetime. Never. There wasn’t much he could do to prevent the wedding from happening, but at least he could show Saint Claire he opposed it. Old man Saint Claire was probably seething right now and wished he could pull out his gun from its hiding place to shoot him. But he knew better. The man was hell bent on seeing this wedding done and tightly sealed. He wanted to see Joanie married to save her reputation. What’s up with that? Losing virginity in the twenty-first century wasn’t a big deal anymore. Even girls in middle school let their boyfriend’s finger fuck or have sex with them. Virginity wasn’t that precious and important. Not to him. Obviously to some it was, he thought. Like Saint Claire and yeah, his grandma, who still valued morals. Christ, who would have thought, at this modern age, a woman who wasn’t promiscuous still existed? He often wondered what it was like to deflower a tight, untried woman. Now that he finally experienced it, he could only remember parts of the deed. Joanie was a virgin, but for goodness sake, he was so drunk he couldn’t tell how he’d broken her hymen. Was he rough, gentle? Did she cry like his friends told him virgins always do when they lost their precious maidenhead?
