Bab 70: Meaningless Apologies

The bride and groom seemed like two ghosts during the wedding that continued as if no guns had been pointed in the bridal suite. They sat just long enough to be announced as a married couple then stood up and left the reception hall with Alonso Senior who had avoided eye contact with Alonso and Natalie the entire time.
