Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage En Ligne [repack] [Easy ✮]

They hadn't met in a bar or a church social.

She’d sent him a photo of a rainy Parisian street.

Mandy pressed her fingers to her own webcam. On his screen, it looked like she was touching his face. “You just did,” she said softly. “Now go to sleep, husband. I have a lecture in two hours.”

The screen glowed blue in the dark of Georgie’s bedroom, casting long shadows across the pile of dirty laundry he’d sworn he’d fold.

She was eighteen, studying literature in Lyon, France, with a chipped coffee mug always full of espresso and a laugh that sounded like wind chimes.

He leaned closer to his screen, as if he could close the 5,000 miles between them with sheer want. “When do I get to kiss the bride?”
