Nobody sets out to marry a stranger by accident in Vegas. Sometimes, and
I’m speaking hypothetically here, sometimes a person sets out to marry a
friend. To do someone a solid. To help solve a difficult situation.
And then gets horribly rejected and ends up drinking himself into
oblivion.

Which then causes him to marry a stranger.
I was several drinks into my rare quest for oblivion when I realized the
businessman on the stool next to me was enjoying a laugh at my expense.
The first time a lady at the bar sent me a drink, he’d huffed out a silent
laugh. Now, as I accepted my third—possibly fourth?—drink from the
bartender, whiskey this time, he was outright snorting.
So I side-eyed the guy. You know, as you do when a businessman gets
all up in your business.
The man was clean-cut and sharp-looking. Probably a corporate type in
town for a conference on balancing stocks and bonds in a well-curated
portfolio. Short brown hair, likely styled by someone who’d never seen the
inside of a ten-dollar quick-cuts place. Well-fitting button-down shirt with
cuffs folded meticulously up muscular forearms. An Apple Watch that
probably kept track of his fitness goals and net worth at the same time.
He oozed money and influence. He probably hadn’t looked at the prices
of the drinks before ordering whatever he wanted. And he wasn’t even
pretending polite disinterest in my situation. “May I help you?”
“I can’t decide if you’ve got game or you’re oblivious.” His voice was
as deep and smooth as the gold-boxed chocolates my sister loved. Cultured.
Expensive. “Either way, it’s entertaining.”
I took a sip of my drink and felt it burn down my throat. “Don’t know
what you mean.”
“The cowboy schtick is really working for you. You’re incredibly
popular with the ladies.”
I took another sip of whiskey while trying to pretend ignorance. I wasn’t
proud of what I was doing, and the idea someone had noticed didn’t sit right
with me. “What ladies?”
He laughed and tilted his head in the direction of the older woman down
the bar who’d sent me my latest drink. “Well, her, for one. Or the gaggle of
college girls who sent you the pink and purple test tube shots. Or the
waitress who ran her hand across your shoulders. Or the woman who asked
if you preferred red over white. You don’t seem interested. None of my
business, but—”
My face flooded with heat. “Oh… that. Well, I mean, no, I’m not
interested in a… a casual encounter, but…” It was embarrassing to admit,
but my tongue had been loosened enough to be less worried than usual. I
leaned in and lowered my voice, noticing belatedly that he smelled nice. “I
can’t really afford this place. The free drinks are nice.”
“Casual encounter?” His bark of laughter startled me. “Where the hell
are you from?”
