Ich habe etwas zu gestehen. Ich hasse Junggesellinnenabschiede. Eine Nacht voller Penis-Strohhalme, peinlichem Tanzen und der Ansage: Du bist auch bald dran, Kaitlyn! Vor allem, wenn sie in einem superschicken Club in Miami stattfindet, wo ich eigentlich nicht hingehöre. Schlimmer kann es doch gar nicht werden, oder? Hier kommt Mr. Groß, Dunkel und ich wusste nicht, dass es so schöne Menschen gibt. Mr. Griesgram schlechthin. Sein finsterer Blick hat etwas Bedrohliches.

Je dois vous avouer quelque chose. Je déteste les enterrements de vie de jeune fille. Une nuit à boire avec pailles en forme de bites, à danser maladroitement et à s’entendre répéter « Ce sera bientôt ton tour, Kaitlyn ! » Surtout quand ladite nuit a lieu dans ce club ultra branché de Miami, exactement le genre d’endroit où je n’ai pas ma place. Vous vous dites que ça ne peut pas être pire ? Entre M. Grand, Ténébreux et « Je ne savais pas que les gens pouvaient être aussi beaux. » Le grincheux par excellence. Même ses sourcils froncés ont les sourcils froncés.
