Lucas popped the candy into his own mouth and remarked, "It's not that good."

Aveline just stared at him and said nothing.

With the emcee guiding the ceremony, Rina appeared, dressed in a flowing wedding gown with a veil that obscured her face.

Lucas looked at her with concern. "Want me to go with you?"

Aveline raised an eyebrow. "Are you insane?"
