When I had heard the reception was in the lemon grove, I had been a little apprehensive. It wasn't actually in it as such but beside it. The younger guests were happily running between the lemon trees laughing together without a care in the world. Aurora looked almost broken. There had been a moment during the vows when she had seemed more herself. A lightness had come over her and I couldn't help but smile at the beauty of it. With everyone else staring at the bride and groom, I had been free to chance a glance at her without anyone noticing.
Once we were at the reception, everything was too busy for anyone to notice me at all. I knew I was looking at her too much, but it seemed impossible for me to stop. She was talking to some bloke. He was roughly her age, but could easily pass for se
