“Now is this your wife?” The older woman asked me pointedly. Shit. I wasn’t expecting Georgia to overhear this pretend family situation. She looked at me confused for a second before turning to the woman. Before she could speak I spoke for her. “Not yet.” Georgia’s eyes widened comically. She relaxed her face into a smile and put her hand on my arm. I was not expecting her to play along but now that she was I would never recover.
