Mark’s laughter subsided, replaced by a dramatic sigh

Is there a way you can prepare this for me?” Sydney asked, emphasizing the last two words and hoping Mark would pick up on the gravity of her request.

“Ugh, fine,” Mark groaned, feigning exasperation. “But you owe me big time. Like, a lifetime supply of free babysitting from Damon.”

Sydney snorted. “As if that kid would listen to anyone but me ”

“Nope have like a milion other errands to run. We’ll keep talking over the phone,” Sydney replied

“A helicopter, sir?

“You heard me right,” Mark affirmed with a nod. “It’s a bit of an emergency situation. Time is of the essence”

“You look absolutely stunning.”

Grace’s face also lit up with a smile and her checks flushed with happiness

Sydney let out a watery chuckle, swiping at her eyes.

“I can’t help it,” she confessed, “After everything we’ve been through, seeing you like this, so happy and radiant it’s just too much”

Sydney nodded, sniffling softly as she tried to regain her composure

“Come on now, not you too,” she chided, pulling back and giving Grace’s shoulder a gentle squeeze. “You’ll ruin your makeup, and we can’t have that ”

Grace let out a shaky laugh, blinking rapidly to clear her vision.

“You’ll ruin your makeup if you keep crying like that.”

Sydney took the cloth and dabbed at her eyes

“You can return it to me some other time,” he gestured to the handkerchief.

Sydney looked at him to say something but then her eyes went to the collar of his shirt and she said. “Your tie is still as crooked as always.”

Mark glanced down at the askew knot of his tie, his fingers barely adjusting it

“Well, would you help? his eyes twinkled

“Of course not,” Sydney snorted

“Where’s Damon?” Mark inquired, glancing around as if expecting the precocious child to materialize

“He’s with the old aunties, waiting in the hall. They wanted him to keep them company”

They finally reached the ceremony hall
