Chapter 145: Noemi

"No." Noemi pinned him with a look. "You were missing."

"Sorry." He thumbed over his shoulder. "Sound issues."

"What?" A chill swept her body.

"Easy." Garth reached out and took her hand. "I handled it."

She checked the time again. "We need to do this now. And you need to be inside."

"That's where I'm headed." He squeezed her hand. "You coming?"

"Yes, let me just text Jessica the countdown," Noemi said as she tapped out a text.

The girls all had jobs today, covering things that would normally be left to Garth, Benji or Scarlett. One of those friends was Jessica, who had taken over the sound system, proving to be an excellent Mistress of Ceremonies.

"Alright." Noemi sighed and glanced up at Garth. "Let's go."

Not a second later and Jessica's cheerful voice urged the attendees to find their seats.

Well, that was one less thing to worry about.

"How's Scarlett?" Garth asked as they circled the north side of the barn, passing people on their way to the ceremony.
