Chapter 20

I phoned Melissa and told her that we were getting married. This promptly caused her to scream down the phone line, but would not tell David why. We also planned on how to tell our parents, because this was going to be a shock. I helped Amy move to my house. It took several trips but 30 minutes was better than paying some people a fortune to do it, only to lose your stuff. My skills were handy, but moving that couch and the bed was almost too much, arriving was the main problem. It was such a great feeling to be living together, knowing we were together and we would see each other everyday and share our bed together at night. Amy wanted to tell her parents when she went for her job interview. She asked her parents if she could come down for the weekend, telling them she was bringing a friend. My parents found out when they popped round the night before we would leave for Chicago, and found Amy sitting and watching TV. I was out saving 20 people who would die on a rollercoaster. You can imagine the shock as I arrived downstairs to find my parents talking to Amy. I am only very glad it was the last rescue for the night and I had just put my costume away.
