Liz glanced at her watch and noticed that the wedding was due to start in
about five minutes. She felt herself getting antsy in her seat, and with
no reasonable explanation. Well, no reasonable explanation other than she
was going to see Conner after all of these years, escorting his sister down
the aisle. Oh, the way he was going to look in that tux - those green eyes
gleaming. UGH!
"Earth to Lizzie - do we have contact?"
"Yeah, Jess."
"I'm glad to hear it - I thought we had lost you there for a while. Where were you Liz?"
"Oh, I was just thinking about an article I have to finish up for the paper - nothing special."
"That story doesn't wash with me - but we'll talk about it after the ceremony."
The music started to play as the wedding party filed in. Liz could feel the knot churning in her stomach. How could she be SO nervous? The doors to the church closed, and the wedding march began to play. The doors were reopened, and they appeared. Liz did her best to focus on Megan as they slowly made their way up the aisle, but she couldn't tear her eyes away from Conner.
After he gave Megan away, the ceremony continued. It was beautiful. There were tears of joy amidst the church. And, someone about four rows back hoped her tears would be taken the same as the others. But the solitary tears running down her face belonged to another. And, if she could have seen him - she would have known he shed a few, too.
