The Wedding Date (II)

There was utter silence, as the guests stared at us with bated breath and I tried to make my voice sound firm -to hide my nerves- and excited when I spoke up, a smile on my face. "It is something really important that we have been thinking about for a while now, and after a lot of thought and waiting… and after being through so much together..." I glanced up at Neil, to meet his gleaming blue eyes.

I tried to ignore every unpleasant way my body was reacting to the fact that Adonis was right there among the guests, watching silently. I felt so bad about it.

Neil grinned back at the guests staring at us with wide eyes and curiosity. "I’m happy to let you all know that we just picked our wedding date!"
