Inside the Peres' household, Clarence sat beside Beauty in a parlor. Claire placed heaps of sweets and drinks on the table. Clyde waited with Beauty's parents for the young couple's decision.
Claire sat when the last goods were laid.
Clarence opened the date. Beauty shared that she wished a garden wedding and Claire interrupted midway.
"That would be great and we will invite the big shots in the culinary industry. Oh, I'll be busy from now on." She placed a notebook on the table and scribbled.
Clarence saw Beauty's helplessness. "Mom, please let Beauty finish."
"Oh dear, sorry. Go on." Claire smiled and waved her hand at Clarence. She sipped from a cup.
"Ah, actually, I only want a small wedding."
Clattering sound resounded. Claire spilled the coffee.
"What? Just a small wedding? And...but...are you sure?"
Clyde held Claire's hand and waved at a helper. The helper left. "Don't forget, dear, this is their wedding. Not ours." The helper came back with cleaning materials.
