Ashley's eyes grew wide as Tanaga kissed her. Her face reddened like she'd had too much to drink. Tanaga enjoyed the moment, knowing Ashley would never resist. He wanted this kiss to last, but the Consul interrupted.
He loudly cleared his throat, "Sir, Ma'am, perhaps you want to wait until the honeymoon. It's getting quite hot in here." He teased, smiling awkwardly. The Consul's words brought Ashley to her senses. She lightly pushed Tanaga away from her.

"Yes!" The Consul answered, "Here are your marriage certificates. Congratulations!" Instead of handing the papers to Tanaga, he gave them to Ashley, making Tanaga's face quickly go sour. As Ashley was about to extend her hand to give them to him, he already had his hand on them.
"Leave these to me," he said, giving her a wink. She let Tanaga take them. What else could she do?
