The Lucky Charm That Never Blessed Me

Seven years with Luke Bates, and he still can't remember that I have a seafood allergy.

Yet he treats that faded lucky charm locket in his car like a sacred treasure.

Inside lies a note that says, "May God bless that specific someone with top marks. If it works, I'll go vegan for three months."

Luke calls it a prank by his high school buddy and tells me not to get jealous over nothing right before we register our marriage.

I believe him, happily pouring my heart into planning our wedding.
