Wasn't that a beautiful ceremony? Wasn't she a beautiful bride? My, how
handsome all the men looked. . . the crowd was abuzz as they waited for
the wedding party to join them at the reception. There would be dinner and
dancing tonight - a grand spread had been set out, since Conner was footing
the bill for the reception. He didn't want to spare any expense for this
event. People began to mingle and make small talk.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to present to you for the second time tonight - Mr. and Mrs. Todd Wilkins."
People began to head towards them in droves to wish them congratulations. It was a very festive event. The lights were dimmed, the candles lit. The area was transformed in to pure romance.
Liz spotted Megan waving frantically at her, so she made her way through the crowd.
"Liz, HELP! I need to bustle this dress before someone steps on it and tramples me on the floor!! What a CROWD!"
"It looks like you two are a real hit!"
"Well, we were until I lost my husband - I think he's over there next to the punch - can you get him for me Liz? "
"Sure, no problem."
Liz began walking towards Todd, who was animatedly talking with someone. As she got closer, she noticed that someone was Conner. She thought about turning around, but she didn't want to let Megan down.
"Todd, your new wife would like you by her side asap. . .oh, hi Conner."
"See you kids later!"
"Yeah, see you Todd - where do you think you're going, Elizabeth?"
Liz started to walk off, cut Conner caught her by the shoulder.
"Wait a minute, Liz. . . that didn't come out like it should have. Don't run off. It's good to see you."
"Well, it's. . .it's nice to see you too, Conner. It has been a while, hasn't it?"
"That it has. You did a great job on Megan's dress. She looked truly beautiful."
"Well, your sister is a beautiful person - inside and out. Look, I need to go - Jess is saving me a seat."
"I hope to see you later in the evening. Maybe we can talk or something."
"Sure, maybe."
He watched her as she walked away, his eyes tracing from head to toe and back again. She was beautiful - she looked like she was alone - and she'd actually said 'maybe'. It was a tiny ray of hope - be he'd take whatever he could get.
