Vincent and Kimberly then distractedly exchanged rings.
Soon, it was time for the toaM
“I’m not feeling very well. I’ll make the toast later,” Vincent said.
Without waiting for a reply, Vincent turned and walked away without caring about her feelings or what she thought. She wanted to chase after him and ask what was wrong, but the guests were all waiting.
Left with no choice, Kimberly stayed behind to appease them.
“Vincent drove all night yesterday, so he’s a bit tired. He’ll greet everyone later,” she explained.
