    ... said Don without a moment of hesitation. “Does she love you?” “Yes.” “Have you asked her to marry you?” “Yes.” “And did she accept?” “Yes.” “Don Taylor, marriage isn’t about paperwork, it’s about love. Pure and simple. I don’t even care if she’s pregnant.” “She’s not,” said Don in a mournful tone. “How can you be so sure?” “Because I can’t have children.” “Hmm, interesting. Does she know this?” “I think so, but I’m not sure.” “Don Taylor, please speak with your fiancée and let me know if you would like me to marry you two. I don’t mind coming to your home. All we need is a witness. I’m sure there is one person you know who could be such a witness. My fee is very reasonable, and as I said before, all of God’s creatures deserve happiness and love. And if you need paperwork, I can take care of that too,” he said with a quick wink. Pastor Ken extended his hand to Don. Don shook his hand and left. He went to the bar, picked up the food and went back to the office. As he entered, Jason said, “Get lost?” “I was at the church.” “How is Pastor Ken?” “Good.” Jason took the food from Don and set it on the table. “Going to have him perform the ceremony for you and Angel?” “Maybe.” “I would,” said Jason. “He’s a good guy and one of the few here that I would trust to keep your secret.” “He said he didn’t care if Angel was a mermaid. That all of God’s creatures deserve love.” “Yeah, that’s him. The Lees aren’t big fans of his as they have a different view of mermaids as you well know.” “Do ...

Then he said quietly, “Don, I’d be honored to stand by your side under one condition.” “Sure, anything. What is it?” “That if Grace ever forgives me and gives me a second chance, you do the same for me.” “You got it man.” They shook hands, then finished their lunch and paperwork. Don went home and talked with Angel about Pastor Ken, how he wanted a simple, but formal ceremony so their marriage would be official and legal. He also explained that Jason needed to come and if after this, she didn’t wish to see either man, this would be fine. Angel listened quietly then asked, “Don want marry?” “Yes Angel, Don wants to marry Angel.” “Don stay with Angel?” she asked, her English still broken. “Yes. Don loves Angel.” “Angel marry Don,” she said with a big smile. Tears welled up in Don’s eyes as he wrapped his arms around her. “Thank you Angel.” The next day, Don asked Jason about making him a ring. Jason laughed and said, “It will be ready by the end of the week. I assumed you’d want a ring as well.” “Seems only fair.” “So when’s the wedding?” “Saturday, I hope.” “Then it ...
