"Aren't we supposed to be searching someone right now than climb a tree?"
I was climbing a giant tree now as Luke had taken me away from our guests wanting some time alone with me.
"He isn't here anymore, Lillian. Your father, Alos was here when we started with our wedding vows but I couldn't feel his presence after I came to ask you for a dance," Luke explained as he gave me his hand to grab on to.
The tree was wide in girth with its thick branches. Dry muddy roots were visible from the ground as I sat adjusting myself on the branch next to Luke.
The night was cold as I rubbed my hands together for some heat and a second later Luke had draped his coat around me to keep me warm. I saw my parents talking with one family while Julie's twin Paul chased her with a cactus in his hand. Most of the guests had taken their leave while there were few of them who still hadn't left and were busy conversing with the other guests.
