She Brought Snakes to My Wedding Night, So I Returned the Favor

On our wedding night, Milton Vance's childhood sweetheart walked into the bridal suite with a pet carrier and a grin on her face.

She opened the box, and a corn snake as thick as a thumb hissed and flicked its tongue, and the sight of it made my scalp crawl.

"A wedding's no fun without a little mischief. This is my pet snake, I've raised her for five years. Consider it my gift to the happy couple."

I froze where I stood, my hands and feet going numb.

The snake slid up along the hem of my dress, heading straight for my collar.
