"Go and see Jennifer.Let her know that we are here.We'll surprise her!" Jerexplained.

"Jennifer!"

It seemed she recognizedand Jerat once, despite the masks.
In a low voice, she exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, my God! What're you two doing here? I can't believe it!"
We continued dancing so as to not arouse suspicion.
I answered softly, "This was all Jerome's idea.Thanks to the pass Mr.Jones gave us, we were able to enter the royal palace.We both felt that we couldn't miss your wedding for the world!"
I winked at Jennifer playfully.
"But it's too risky, my dear!"
Jennifer scolded us lightly as Anthony twirled her on the dance floor.
"Your special power..."
She lowered her voice to just above a whisper so that no one would overhear us.
Anthony also began to slow down his dance deliberately to give us a chance to talk with each other properly.
This moved me.
He was so considerate.
I slowed down too, and Jerfollowed suit.
"Don't worry, Jennifer.I'll control myself and won't cause you any trouble.Besides, we're wearing masks.Other than you two, no one can recognize us."
"But you're pregnant! I'm sorry you had to travel thousands of miles for me!"

"Yes, of course I'm happy.Thank you so much for coming, Skylar!"

"This is the best gift I have received today! Skylar, since you call the way here to witness the happiest day of my life, I'll stop scolding you."
"You're my best friend.How could I not attend your wedding?"
I also laughed, but I didn't dare to draw attention to myself, so I continued dancing as though nothing had happened.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to make it.I felt sad for a long time..."
Jennifer's laughter was as clear as a silver bell.
"Skylar, you always managed to surprise me! Why didn't you tellyou were coming?"
"Jertoldit would be a surprise."
