<blockquote>"The vows were short, perfunctory; Clarke was asked to say I do, and she did. There were rings, too: Bellamy’s fingers were warm against her hand when he slipped a ring on her finger, and she put a ring on his. They were instructed to kiss. His lips were dry, pressing against her mouth for a moment, and that was it. They were done.
She was a wife, and her husband was a stranger."
AU. Clarke winds up in an arranged marriage with Bellamy.</blockquote>
