I move around them.

Drew falls into step beside me.

Then Kane.

Then everyone else.

I stop.

“Why are you following me?”

Drew looks offended.

“You think we waited this long and we’re staying inside?”

“Yes.”

“No.”

“You are supposed to be getting married.”

Kane checks his watch. “I have time.”

“Not for this.”

“This is the most interesting thing that has happened all morning.”

“It is your wedding.”

“Exactly. I’m allowed.”

Apparently marriage creates temporary insanity before the vows.

I keep moving.

All five follow.

Naturally.

We cut through the west garden toward the outer checkpoint.

Drew is practically vibrating beside me.

“What if she’s hot?”

“Shut up.”

“What if she’s hideous?”

“Still shut up.”

“What if she really is Sergei?”

I stop walking.

Drew nearly runs into me.

“Say that again.”
