Cordy returned to the banquet hall, where Patrick was growing restless from waiting for her.

She smiled despite herself-he really was a little impatient, since she was barely away for ten minutes.

’I would’ve gone looking for you if you didn’t come back,” Patrick said a little grumpily as he took her hand.

The ceremony shall begin at 12:08 pm. Once again, thank you for coming.”
