✦ Synopsis

Plight [plahyt]
Noun : a difficult, or otherwise unfortunate situation.
Verb : pledge or solemnly promise. Be engaged to be married.

Elliot Parker was my best friend. When we were eight years old, he gave me a cheese ring, pushed it onto my finger, and asked me to marry him.
I ate the cheese ring.
I also said, "Yes" but that we'd have to wait until we were thirty years old.

Two years later, we both nearly drowned.
Four years after that, he moved away and I never saw him again.

I turned thirty last week and now Elliot is calling in our promise.
Seriously, he is insane if he thinks that an out-of-the-blue private Facebook message stipulating the binding law of an oral contractual agreement is going to seal our twenty-two-year bullshit engagement.
Insane.
I wonder if he really does look like his profile picture though.
