The hall was once again filled with a melodious piece of music. People continued their conversations from right where they had left off. And the surrounding that was deafeningly quiet just a moment ago was now filled with merry sounds of laughter, chatter, and cheering of the guests of the wedding.
Theodore gently began grooving to the music so as not to look weird while everyone was watching them 'dance' and he swiftly hugged Adeline from behind. He gave Adeline a warm and apologetic kiss on her bare shoulder.
He had seen how dejected she felt when she couldn't use that wish to save her father. And he also felt bad that he hugged the same man who was going to take Adeline's father away from her.
So he gently whispered to his wife, "I'm sorry, Adeline… For everything that happened just a while ago. You can vent out your anger on me later."
