Deacon I have one month to find a bride, or I will lose my daughter. They say that a foul-mouthed tattoo artist cannot be an awesome father. Complete crap! But, according to the lawyer, in order to convince the judge, I need a moral and respectable bride. I know just the perfect girl - damn it! — I think she might even be a virgin. There’s just one catch. She's my sister's best friend, and she hates me to the core.

Rita When my best friend's brother asked me to marry him, I almost punched him. I'm more than sure that he's just teasing and goading me, as he always does, but marriage is no joke. Not when I’m about to turn thirty, and there’s no one on the horizon, or even in the near future. And not when I was always head over heels in love with him, like the last fool. Then he says that he is serious. He needs me to agree to this, otherwise his daughter will be taken away from him. I need to refuse. He always treated me like crap, thereby demeaning my feelings for him and making them even more pathetic. But how can I not fall completely unconscious in love with him? He always wears thin, tight tank tops that highlight his ripped abs and broad shoulders. And no matter how bad some people talk about him as a father, he was so sweet to his daughter, and he was just as nasty to me. Maybe I can say yes. But I would do it for his daughter, not for him. And I definitely wouldn't do it, desperately hoping that he would see me as more than just his sister's weird friend - that he would touch me and make me his - no, definitely not.
