"Elise, your sacrifice was worth it. This is my honor, and it's yours too. You should be proud to have a husband like me."
Looking at his smug, self-satisfied face, all I felt was nausea.
"Passengers?"
I let out a cold laugh.
"You mean your 'female bro'? Funny how you didn't worry about conflicts of interest then."
Colin didn't show a shred of shame.
"You and I have a marriage certificate. Scarlett and I have nothing."
Scarlett sauntered over, giving me a provocative smile.
"Yeah, just bros. What's there to avoid?"
"Good thing Elise cooperated, or Colin wouldn't have gotten that certificate. Oh right, there's also a bonus—perfect for treating everyone to dinner!"
Colin nodded along.
"Tomorrow night, I booked a celebration dinner. You'll toast Scarlett and apologize for that scene you made at your dad's memorial."
"My dad just died, and you want me to celebrate your success?"
He shrugged, utterly indifferent.
