I adjust my collar, Harry flicking pieces of my hair up. Harry is my best friend, one of the few friends I have. That's why he's here- although I'd rather Todd. But he's off dealing with his father. I hear the crashing of waves from the window. A seaside wedding, like Mrs Lovett and Ravinia both wanted for themselves. I still live to serve, even now, I suppose.
"You look charming," Harry winks at me. "God, do I wish I was in Ravinia's shoes."
"Shut your mouth." I joke back. "We're almost late." I look back. "And you say that as if your large feet would fit in her delicate little shoes?" I laugh.
"There you are!" Todd wobbles up. He's got a cane now, a sad little thing. But he works through every day with a smile, and I'm proud of my little buddy. "My father couldn't gather himself out of bed!" Todd shakes his head, rolling his eyes.
"What?" My jaw drops. "He's going to miss it!" Todd shrugs.
"We don't have time, we've got to get up there." Harry ushers the three of us up. I'm standing at the end of the aisle when I see the few guests rise. Music begins to play, but the only thing I notice is the beautiful pale lady at the end of the aisle. She is wearing a cream coloured dress that almost matches her porcelain skin. She smiles up at me, holding orange daisies as she practically runs up to me. I catch her as she almost falls in her heels.
"I do," I say later, followed by her own 'I do'. I kiss her soft lips and Todd makes a small disgusted sound. I suppose I didn't feel that way at 14 because all I wanted was for Mr Todd to kiss Mrs Lovett so she could stop longing for him.
Ravinia pulls away just to kiss me again and I figure I could stay this way forever.
