When Avery reached the exit to the venue where the reception is being held, he kicked the door open. Knocking it off of its hinges.
This only saved him a fraction of a second compared to just waiting for them to open normally, but he was in a rush and time was of the essence.
Accompanying him were Nianni, his mother, Kasandra, and Regina.
However, he could not allow Jasmine's mother or Kasandra to see what he was going to attempt using his, Nianni's, and his mother's powers.
"Regina, Kasandra, I need you two to stay behind and keep everyone else calm. I'm Jasmine's husband now. You can count on me to take care of her." Avery said as he dashed off without waiting for a response.
Thankfully, Jasmine's mother understood what he was getting at and stayed behind.
As for Kasandra, she took a couple more steps before stopping. She did not understand why Avery did not want her to come with him, but she decided to respect his wishes. Whatever the explanation was, she would get it later.
