Darcy

The reception took place in a hotel ballroom just a few blocks from the church. While Megan and Alex were taking their wedding photographs, Darcy and Krys went outside and meandered toward the hotel on foot.

“The ceremony was beautiful,” she said. “I’d love to have one just like it someday.”

“A big church wedding?” Krys asked. “You are a romantic.”

“I don’t know,” Darcy said, pondering the subject. “I guess I’d change a few details – maybe something outdoors, with a good view and lots of flowers. But I love how passionate Megan and Alex are about each other – I haven’t even met them yet and I could tell how in love they are from across the room. I want that.”

“I do, too,” Krys said, surprising Darcy. “If I ever find the time for all of it.”

“When you love someone, you make time,” Darcy said. She had her hand linked in Krys’s and she was swinging it between them as they walked. Most of the other guests had opted to walk the three blocks to the hotel because it was such a nice afternoon, but it still managed to feel like she and Krys were the only two people on the sidewalk.

“I’m glad you asked me to come today,” Darcy said. “Even if your friends did twist your arm.”

“They didn’t twist that hard,” Krys admitted, keeping her eyes on the pavement. “How’s your leg holding up? We’re still about a block away.”

“It’s doing just fine,” Darcy said. In truth, it was beginning to hurt just a little bit – she’d lost track of how beneficial the cane was to take some of the pressure off her bad leg. But she wasn’t about to go back to the truck and fetch it now.

When they got to the hotel, they found the ballroom decorated in Megan and Alex’s wedding colors – blush pink and rich navy that gave the room a soft, romantic vibe. There were about a dozen round tables covered in white linens, a dance floor at the front of the room and a bar at the back.

“Should we get a drink?” Darcy asked.

“Sure,” Krys said, so they went to the bar and Darcy ordered a couple glasses of white wine to tide them over until the meal began. Lily and her brother were the first faces that Darcy noticed and Krys waved them over.

“I didn’t know you were friends with Megan and Alex,” she said as they ordered drinks. “How did that happen?”

“It didn’t, really,” Lily said with a laugh. “But you know Chloe – she wants everyone to be friends, and if we’re being honest, I think she’s going to try to set me up with someone tonight. She can’t stand that I’m single.”

Krys laughed and rolled her eyes. “That sounds familiar. She’s a prolific matchmaker.”

“Did she set you two up?” Lily asked, looking to Darcy.

“No,” Darcy said, “but if I understand correctly, she is at least partially to thank for my invitation tonight, too.”

“We’ll have to find an
