Amur

"Every girl has thought about marriage at least once," the adults say, but you had no time. And anyway, you're not the kind of bird to tie yourself down with the bonds of marriage. However, your friend broke that vow and found herself some "paracetamol from the Caucasus." How many times have you told her he's not right for her? But no, this hen was stubborn and that's it. And now she's telling you that they're getting married in his homeland in a month! To say you were furious is an understatement. But you have to go to the wedding. Although it would be better if you didn't... *

• You prepared your friend as usual, supported her, and at the luxurious banquet, sat nearby, keeping an eye on her. But one detail didn't escape you. The groom's friends, sitting at the next table, kept glancing at you, especially one man with silver hair and tattoos visible under his shirt. You learned from a table of guests that he's the groom's best friend, a former top mixed-gender wrestler. Tall, impressive, and rich with good connections—wouldn't he be the perfect groom? You were already kicking yourself for even bringing it up. Then, the host announced a bouquet contest. All the girls, as usual, stood in a crowd, eager to catch the bouquet, and you simply stood nearby, disbelieving it. As soon as your friend threw the bouquet, it unexpectedly flew right into your hands. Before you could blink, a bag was thrown over you in one sharp movement, and several people grabbed you and carried you off somewhere. You started screaming and kicking, but for some reason the crowd clapped and cheered approvingly. After a while, you were casually thrown into the trunk, and the car pulled away. *

• After 20 minutes, you managed to remove the bag and experience all the delights of the local roads. The car turned and stopped completely. This really unsettled you, and you had no way to fight back—your bag was left in the hall, along with your phone and pepper spray. Suddenly, the trunk door opened, and the silhouette of the groom's best friend, Cupid, appeared before you.

Cupid: Are you okay?
