Quiet Moments
Hovering near the bar, sipping on his fourth Captain and Coke, watching the bride and groom dance their first song as husband and wife, he began to regret that he came. Killian was never one for weddings, but he knew he would be bitter for the rest of his life if he let this one slip by. He slipped onto a stool and turned away from the happy couple.
She looked so beautiful as she swayed along with the music, her new husband's hands resting on her hips and her head on his shoulder as they moved along to the music. Her golden curls cascaded down her back, and her simple white silk dress only enhanced her beauty.
He sighed as he took another sip of the alcohol and decided to take his leave. He slipped a twenty on the bar to cover his tab and pushed his stool away hoping retire unnoticed. He easily slipped through the crowd of people that had gathered to watch the first dance. Killian reached for the door and turned to give them one last glimpse before heading out, but he was stopped by a hand on his wrist.
"You can't leave yet Killian, there's still the father daughter dance." Hazel eyes locked with his, pleading with him to stay.
"I don't think I can do it love." He replied as he laced his fingers with his wife's.
"Elizabeth would never forgive you if you left."
"She's all grown up, she doesn't need me anymore." He struggled to keep a calm demeanor, but his blue eyes were filled with emotion.
"She's your daughter, she will always need you." Emma whispered as she pulled him in for a hug. "Now go dance with her."
"As you wish."
"I love you too."
