You and Charlie flew to a friend's bachelor weekend as the platonic best friends everyone keeps insisting you are. You came home with matching rings and a signed certificate.

Two days of pretending. He has spent twenty years getting good at it.
You married Beau Lindstrom for the endorsement money, plain and simple. He treats you like staff. Smiles for the cameras, then nothing the second the door shuts.
