How could Jessie Sterling possibly tell him? She just glared at Victor Morgan, her eyes wide in defiance.
Victor Morgan found it amusing. He wasn't actually trying to get a rise out of her, so he decided to quit while he was ahead. He turned and whispered something else in Jessie's ear.
"Do you want to leave tonight?" Victor asked.
Jessie didn't immediately understand.
Today was the third day of the wedding reception. Though their families had booked rooms for the guests until the following week, many would likely start leaving after tomorrow.
Jessie and Victor would be leaving as well, for their honeymoon.
The original plan had been to leave the next morning, but Victor suddenly proposed, "If we fly to The Saros Islands tonight, we can still catch the sunrise."
It was already the end of the year, and Victor had taken a significant amount of time off for their wedding photos and the ceremony. Jessie had been the one to suggest they could put the honeymoon on hold for a while.
