Re: Belvina/Stephen
Stephen has been to parties from Christenings to funerals, and they were all a social game. However, he'd never been at an engagement party that felt like a funeral. He guessed that it was expected considering some of the guests - or even the bride-to-be.
When he felt the touch, he turned and grinned at Belvina. He lowered his voice and cast a privacy spell. "That's because most people don't want to be here, and they are only happy that it's me and not their own sons marrying Bella's sister." He shrugged. "It's a party. The sooner it ends and we can get some of this people out, the better. I'm sure which ones I'm talking about."
