The Wedding Night

After uttering the wedding vows, the guests congratulated the bride and groom while the music was played louder, and the event continued with a dance party.

Rion brought Odette to the center of the dance floor. Instead of talking, they were mostly silent, smiling and looking at each other. They were so happy that they didn’t know what to say. While moving his body following the music, Rion recalled the series of meetings he had with Odette.

The corners of his lips curved up to a sweet smile as he remembered what he did to Odette at the riverbank. It was when they first met. And then he also remembered how she insisted on helping him, giving him a hand, a hug, and finally when she was treating his wound.

“Thank you,” he said sincerely.

“What for?” Odette raised her brows.

“For this happiness.” Rion smiled, swirling Odette’s body. He added softly, “Thank you for coming into my life too."

Hearing that, Odette pulled her smile wider. “I love you, Rion.”
