A Throne Without a Memory
]
I just pocketed my phone when a voice, both familiar and pretentious, rang out: "Welcome, everyone, to the wedding of Sebastian and me."
I turned to see Sebastian, sharp in a tailored suit, standing by Rosa in her bridal gown, playing the perfect hosts.
They stood before a rainbow archway, their oversized wedding portraits smiling down.
Catching sight of me, Rosa rose on her toes and planted a kiss on Sebastian. The crowd erupted in whistles and cheers, and Sebastian, a bit sheepish, dabbed at his mouth.
He glanced up without thinking, and our eyes locked in an unexpected standoff.
Sebastian, caught off guard, shoved Rosa aside, his awkwardness bordering on comical.
