Chapter Eleven

The music began and everyone craned their necks to look back up the rose petal-strewn path. There appeared to be no flower girl, but a young woman led the way, in front of three similarly dressed bridesmaids. This had to be Caris. Her coloring was so close to Sarah’s and she had the same blonde hair.

Then Sarah appeared. She was incredibly beautiful, but it was Ben who drew her attention the most. In his fancy suit, he walked proudly beside his sister. Handsome and sexy, he just happened to be her date. It would be a perfect moment—if it were real.

When they drew to eye level he gave her a wink. Eloise Knight saw it and gave her a conspiratorial smile. Jenna couldn't stop a grin escaping. What the heck? It meant nothing to be here as Ben's date. She knew it. He knew it. If Mrs. Knight read more into it, then who was Jenna to spoil her day?

And, it was a glorious day for a wedding. The birds were singing in the trees to the right. The bridal march was played by a wonderful pianist to the left. The decorations were almost perfect, because the flowers on the chairs were paper, albeit expensive paper, and Jenna would have done so much more with the real thing. If her shop hadn’t burnt down she probably would have, because Renee would have pushed for it.

Only one thing jarred more than this. The groom, standing under the pretty flower-festooned arch—at least that looked perfect, after she’d made some changes—was too pale. Beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. He couldn’t meet anyone’s eyes and the groomsmen were equally downcast.

She was curious as to the nature of Marcus’s no-show, and to Andy's ability to get him here so quickly. To get him here at all was a major accomplishment if the guy really wasn't keen to tie the knot. That being the case, why would Sarah still agree to marry him?

Gasps and murmurs of appreciation for the bridesmaids, and then Sarah, had filtered around the garden. Eventually, the groom did look at his bride. His smile seemed forced. Wow. If Jenna ever did marry, which seemed highly unlikely given her track record with choosing a suitable candidate, she wouldn’t want it to go like this.

All the money in the world and the most stunning of locations didn’t make up for a couple who didn’t look or feel right in the moment when it should be at its most perfect. In fact, they both looked ill.

Ben was handing his sister over to Marcus, and she was sure he scowled at the groom. Sarah hesitated, then took Marcus’s hand.

The minister began. After he'd asked who was giving the bride away, and Ben had answered in a rather gruff voice that it was him, Ben then took his seat, squeezing in between the twins and Jenna.

As they began to say their vows, Sarah began to fidget. She had been so still prior to this that it was immediately noticeable.
