Chapter 10

Guests continued to mingle, now grouped into pairs, exchanging stories, laughter, and the kind of casual chatter that filled the space with an air of false cheerfulness.

CHAPTER XVI A Long Day in London

Anisim, the groom, appears disconnected and passive, marrying more out of duty and…-
