Verified subtitle lines and timestamps for this episode:

  1. [00:00] Every April Fool's Day, my husband Ryan Carter and his childhood friend Summer
  2. [00:04] Brayan played a game of truth or dare. Remember eighth grade? I asked if you
  3. [00:10] dared to skip the math exam. You tore the answer sheet paper airplane straight into
  4. [00:19] That was nothing. Playing truth or dare on April Fool's Day is basically our
  5. [00:25] tradition. Then do you dare to go get a marriage license with me right now?
  6. [00:34] Whistles erupted all around. I stood in the doorway, my fingertips pinching a
  7. [00:39] pregnancy test. Ryan turned to look at me, then laughed. Why wouldn't I dare? He
  8. [00:46] stood up, came over, grabbed my arm, and dragged me into the hallway outside.
  9. [00:52] Haley, it's just an April Fool's joke.
  10. [00:55] Play along with me.
  11. [00:57] Go handle the divorce paperwork first, and tomorrow morning we'll go to City Hall and
  12. [01:01] get remarried.
  13. [01:02] You know I can't back down in front of Summer.
  14. [01:05] I stared at the man in front of me.
  15. [01:07] For the sake of his so-called childhood game, I had compromised for five years.
  16. [01:11] This time, I wasn't accepting it.
  17. [01:13] I'm pregnant.
  18. [01:17] Haley, that's a brilliant move!
  19. [01:19] Ryan froze for half a beat, then burst out laughing.
  20. [01:23] You made up a pregnancy just stopped me from winning? Nice. You're better at April Fools than I am.
  21. [01:28] Summer walked over. Hearing our conversation, she laughed too.
  22. [01:33] Please, Haley, if you can't handle the game, just say so. Using pregnancy as an excuse? That's so low.
  23. [01:43] Exactly.
  24. [01:46] Let's go.
  25. [01:48] Hurry up. If we're any later, City Hall will close.
  26. [01:52] How am I supposed to get the license then?
  27. [01:54] He dragged me outside, his steps long and urgent.
  28. [01:57] I glanced at the hand gripping my wrist.
  29. [01:59] The Pate Philippe on his wrist was the gift he had bought himself
  30. [02:03] the day after the first volume of Dark Whispers hit number one on the bestseller list.
  31. [02:07] And that April Fool's Day, the gift he gave me
  32. [02:10] was kissing Summer in front of every executive in the company.
  33. [02:15] Every year, I had to endure the absurd pranks he played on me for Summer on April Fool's Day.
  34. [02:23] On the way to City Hall, Ryan drove insanely fast.
  35. [02:27] When we arrived at City Hall, what Ryan pulled from his briefcase was not a divorce agreement,
  36. [02:33] but a thick stack of documents.
  37. [02:35] The title read, Petition for Marriage Annulment and Waiver of All Rights.
  38. [02:41] He slapped the documents in front of me and spoke quickly.
  39. [02:45] Sign it.
  40. [02:46] Declare that our marriage was fraudulent from the beginning because it was based on an April
  41. [02:51] Falls joke.
  42. [02:52] Once you sign this, our relationship will legally have never existed.
  43. [02:58] Then I can register my marriage with Summer legally.
  44. [03:00] I picked up the pen and let out a cold laugh.
  45. [03:03] Fine.
  46. [03:05] Then I'll give you both what you want.
