"Hmm..Celestine", Celestine seated up and looked at Dayl.
"Just call me Toni, Celestine is too formal"
"Toni, Since this is a secret marriage. Don't let anybody know. Lets keep it a secret until my mother gets home",
"Sure! no problem. But why do want to keep it a secret?",

"I don't have a choice. You know my life is a mess. This is the only way to get out from my stressful family",
"Just think twice or thrice. You will regret it if when you realized that's is not the only way"
"I know that regrets will always be in the last. I will just prepare myself in any consequences, if there is a consequences",
