“No fui invitado”, dije en voz baja.
“¿Por qué está sentada aquí atrás?”
Lauren se congeló.
I answered before she could.
“Solo he venido a dejarle algo”.
Levanté la caja de terciopelo.
Ethan lo miró.
“What?”
I handed the box to the usher standing awkwardly beside me.
“I just wanted to give her this.”
Ethan looked back at Lauren.
“You didn’t invite your mother?”
“It’s complicated.”
His expression tightened.
Then he looked at me again.
“I’m Ethan.”
“I gathered.”
He actually laughed once.
But then his eyes filled with tears.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Before I understood what was happening, he gently took my arm.
“Would you come with me?”
La cara de Lauren cambió.
– Ethan, no lo hagas.
Él no la contestó.
Me llevó hacia el altar.
Mis piernas se sentían débiles.
La iglesia se había quedado completamente en silencio.
