It was a small, old-fashioned church, a far cry from the cathedral-like status Thomas’s family would have preferred.

It was peaceful and festive, his mind calming enough to allow him to cast aside the stresses of the last few weeks. The main reason... for his stress stood just a few feet away, deep in a conversation with Alice and some other women he didn’t know. It didn’t matter, anyway, since he wouldn’t remember any of their names. It was difficult to concentrate on anything else in presence of this slim, dark-haired girl with the pale face and a mouth that promised sweetness he had already explored and could attest to, however unwillingly. It was still hard to believe she was here, he thought as he watched the colorful lights illuminate her solemn face, the blue, red and green rays making her look almost ethereal.MoreLessRead More Read Less
