Elion couldn't help smiling.
'She looks so jumpy and cute.'
Their eyes met, and Tessa's cheeks immediately reddened.
Elion gave her a reassuring smile, and she took a breath, then slowly walked forward. Each step brought her closer and closer to where he stood.
Paul stood near the ceremonial altar with his arms folded, his expression unusually serious for once.
Terressa stood beside him, smiling warmly.
Paul cleared his throat.
"Well." He looked between the two of them. "Considering everything that happened today, I'm honestly surprised we're still standing."
A few clansmen laughed.
Terressa elbowed him.
"Paul."
"What? It's true."
Elion chuckled.
Tessa covered her face briefly.
"Father..."
"Fine, fine."
Paul straightened, and his expression became stern.
Elion glanced at Tessa.
She was looking at him with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
It was rather odd that Tessa of all people was going to be the first of his women to have a formal marriage ceremony.
