When Katherine turned around and her eyes met Jasper's, both of them froze.
The first thing she noticed was that he was no longer in his white guard uniform. He was in a tuxedo, his hair had been trimmed, and he was clean shaven. To an outsider's view, he looked like he could have been her groom.
Katherine was already flooded with emotions, and seeing Jasper in front of her while she was about to go marry someone else wasn't helping. She had no idea what he was doing here, and for a moment, her heart skipped thinking that he had come to take her away to be with him. Before she could even fully process that thought that appeared, he broke the silence between them.
"Katie, you...you look gorgeous," Jasper said before he shook his head as if to pull himself from a trance. He cleared his throat and stood up taller before he said, "I'm here as the Queen Mother's escort for the day, and I was told she was here."
