Blindly handing Keira the pastries he brought, he stared up at the ring and smiled.
"I'm not late. Thank goodness."
"Man, find somewhere to sit so the rest of us can see." Someone grumbled behind him.
Daniel finally tore his eyes away from the stage to glance around, grimacing slightly when he saw Kelsie's dark eyes on him.
"Sister-in-law, I almost missed such an important day. How could you not tell me?" Keeping in mind a crowd like this would come for his blood if he spoke too loudly, he bent over to whisper to Kelsie.
Before she could reply, Keira retorted with a mouthful of cake, "You disappeared, Uncle. I almost thought you left the country."
