This was the part I hated. The unnecessary and unabashed staring. I had learned to perfect my poker face but it did not make it any less uncomfortable that these people were gawking at us.
Yes, he was the celebrant and we looked like a couple straight out of a magazine but this kind of staring was not needed.
Ariel came towards us and I let out my first smile of the evening.
"Hey girl," I said, pulling my arm away from his so I could hug her.
"Hello Mrs Romano," she said wiggling her brows. "You look spectacular!"
"Thank you."
"Your pictures are going to eat tonight!"
I grinned happily for once looking forward to the gorgeous pictures that I would have at the end of the night. Maybe I was actually getting used to this.
"Happy birthday sir," she said to Jace.
I turned to look at him and he simply nodded and looked away.
I smiled apologetically on his behalf at her and she nodded like she was used to it.
