Rushing to his wedding, he bought flowers from a little girl by the roadside…

It was October, and it was raining intermittently, windy, and nasty. Few wanted to be outside in such heavenly weather. They stood not far from the swamp.

What do you want from me? Jess asked, very frightened. I want you to beg for forgiveness. On your knees.

You’re sick, Jack, the girl said with a disgusted grimace. Then he hit her in the face. Pain shot through her entire being, and circles swam before her eyes.

Suddenly, Jess grabbed a thick stick and struck Jack on the head with all her might. He staggered and fell right at her feet. Good riddance, bastard.

Jessica kicked him with the toe of her boot. Then the girl took a desperate step. She took off her jacket and headed to the swamp.

Carefully, so as not to stumble, she smeared it with mud and then hung it on a branch so that it lightly touched the swampy mire. Just in case, she also took off her watch and threw it on the forest path, leading to this very wretched place. Jessica ran along the highway until a kind old man picked her up and took her to the city.

I wanted to get married first and then tell everything. Jessica, but does that mean you wanted this wedding just because it was convenient for you? You don’t love me, do you? Paul, darling, what are you saying? When I met you, I couldn’t even believe right away that you were so perfect for me. I thought men like you only existed in beautiful books and good movies.

But no, you were real. I love you very much. Paul moved closer to the girl and took her hand.

Shoo, it’s okay, sunshine. I love you very much too. You must be bored with me? I mean, I only have a high school education.

Jess, stop it, it doesn’t matter. You’re very smart. I wouldn’t have thought you only finished school.

I read a lot. Whenever I had time, I spent it reading, Jessica said through her tears. You’ll get the profession of your dreams, I promise, Paul said confidently.
