Gillian looked at Cassidy dress with a mixture of envy and shock that she could not hide. “This is quite a surprise,” Gillian said while clutching her pearls.
“Weddings are full of surprises,” Cassidy replied with a small smile. The ceremony was beautiful but Cassidy felt Justin eyes on her from across the aisle during the entire service.
She sat between Maxwell and her sons and felt a sense of peace she had not known in a long time. During the vows she noticed that Maxwell was answering the boys whispered questions with great patience.
The reception was held in a grand ballroom that overlooked the valley and the lights of the city. Justin had arranged for Cassidy to be seated at a small table in the far corner near the kitchen.
Maxwell saw the seating card and immediately called over the event coordinator with a polite smile. “I believe there has been a mistake and Ms. Thorne will be sitting at my table in the center,” Maxwell said.
The coordinator moved them immediately while Justin watched from the bar with a red face. During dinner Justin approached the table with a drink in his hand and a look of desperation.
