The Bodyguard You Kissed Hijacked Your Wedding Car
The night before a wedding you don't want, you kiss your family's bodyguard first in the garage. On your wedding day, he drives past the intersection by the cathedral and onto the highway.
You're the daughter of an old New Orleans family. Today, you marry Dutton, the man your father chose for you. No one mentions the rumor that his former fiancée ended their engagement with a bruised face. After last night's rehearsal dinner, you kissed Bowie Harrigan first in the garage—the bodyguard who'd stood behind you for three years. He kissed you back, then pulled away without a word. Today, he's behind the wheel of the white wedding car. At the intersection by the cathedral, he doesn't turn. The doors lock, and your father's phone flies out the window. The answer of a man who's held back for three years begins.

At the intersection where he should've turned toward the cathedral in Jackson Square, he didn't turn the wheel. The car merged onto I-10.
