Escaping
Riza rest her head on Roy's shoulder as they made another circuit around the dance floor. The reception was finally beginning to wind down, and she was about ready to call it a night. What she really wanted was to be able to slip off to bed with Roy and spend the rest of the night alone with him. Riza knew she wasn't likely to get that, but a woman could dream. Really, though, all that was left was cutting the cake and the garter and bouquet tosses. Then she and Roy could take their leave of the party.
A comment to Gracia was all it took to get the group marshalling for the cake cutting. While Havoc and the other boys rooted for cake mashing, Roy was wise enough to refrain. Riza had made her feelings on the matter clear earlier. Clearly, Roy didn't plan to spend his wedding night on the couch. The cake started being served around the room as Havoc and Gracia organized the groups for the garter and bouquet tosses. Riza went first, simply closing her eyes and tossing the bouquet over her shoulder.
There were shouts and squeals behind her, and when Riza turned around, a blushing Ranfan had the bouquet clutched in her automail hand. Riza was not surprised when Roy aimed the garter at Ling. Once the groups' attention was on getting that pair to dance, the bride and groom quietly slipped out of the room. Someone had clearly planned for this event for Riza found bags waiting by the exit of the hall as well as a car outside to take them to their hotel. And so with shared smiles, the newlyweds slipped off into the night.
