“No, I haven’t seen them,” Jake replied, glancing around. “Maybe they’re running late.”
“Don’t worry,” Amy said, patting my arm. “They’ll be here. Let’s enjoy the moment.”
I nodded, but a sense of unease settled in my stomach. I hoped everything was alright.
The reception was lively, filled with laughter and music, but I couldn’t shake off my worry. Laura and her family’s seats remained empty, a glaring absence in the otherwise perfect day.
“I can’t believe Laura and her family didn’t show up,” I said to Jake, my voice tinged with disappointment. “They RSVP’d yes! Do you think something happened?”
“It’s strange,” Amy said, looking concerned. “I hope they’re okay. Maybe we’ll hear from them soon.”
