The Runaway Groom

They were led to the VIP room where Irene and Tommy sat on the couch, waiting while Erin got changed in the dressing room.

There were plenty of sweets and beverages prepared on the table, and Tommy started to snack on the chocolate.

Irene had to take out a tissue to wipe the chocolate that smudged over his mouth. "Take it slow.”

Tommy held it out to her mouth. “This is good. Try it, Mommy."

Irene opened her mouth and ate it.

There was a lemony flavor to the strong chocolate taste, and there was a minty freshness to the sugar sweetness.

The texture was rich and good as Tommy described it.

Despite Erin's usually lively demeanor, she appeared more prim and mature with the gown. After all, getting too risque at a wedding ruined the solemnity, especially if children or elderly were attending.
