"Smile!" The photographer told Henry and Sarahi as they took their wedding photos. They kissed afterward. The photographer smiled at the happy couple. According to the bride, they were high school sweethearts that had met in their gym class and had been inseparable. The photographer then took pictures of the bride's friends and family who made silly poses and happy faces.

"You want a break?" The dark haired goth friend of the photographer asked her.

"Sure." The photographer handed her friend the camera. She wanted to eat some of the delicious food that the caterers had brought her and rest her legs a bit. She noticed him in a corner, chatting to a man with golden blonde hair and another with red hair. He was looking at her as well. The man was tall, with short black hair and amber eyes.

She looked back at the plate of food as a red headed man sat next to her.

"I can't wait until this wedding is over. Being around this many people is tempting me." He spoke, grabbing his own plate.

"Barry, for Christ's sake. Don't you dare get sticky fingers at the wedding of the Emperor's daughter out of all things." The photographer shook her head.

"Leah, I'll be fine. I know how to behave." Barry was halfway through a chicken leg. A girl plopped down on his lap.

"Well, damn, I was trying to take pictures of the reception guests before I ate but okay." She smiled at them.

"Sorry, Lanie. We were starving. I haven't had anything besides that bagel this morning." Leah smiled at them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please turn your attention to the bride and groom!" The announcer, a girl named Amy, was speaking. Music started to play and they started their first dance. Leah sighed. She wished she could find love like that. She noticed the man from earlier walking up to her.

Her heart skipped a beat and she felt a strange feeling in her stomach.

"Hey." The man spoke in a sultry voice. "What's your name?"

"I'm Leah," Leah could feel her cheeks turning red. God, this was embarrassing. "And you?"

"I've been looking for you, Lia." Leah smiled at him, knowing what he meant.

"Alduin." She embraced him. "I've been looking."

"And so have I." He embraced her. "You were right."

"I told you so." Lia smiled at him. They pressed their foreheads together, pulling into a kiss.
