Cruz moved on, and Jared hoped he reached him. Maybe not today - but the seed was planted and that’s all Jared could hope for. He’d gotten to know Rachel well, and even though she was smart - she could be a little naive. He really hoped he was right about Cruz and he didn’t break Rachel’s heart. Jared watched as Emily pulled a rose out of her bouquet and handed it to the little girl, and once again, Jared thought that Emily would be a great mother. And this was just the first time he’d really saw her interact with a child.
Emily turned her head as he approached, giving him a broad smile. ”Jared, hands!” she said reaching out. Jared smiled, taking her hands and helping her to her feet. ”Thanks, love! Jared, this is my friend Zhenya and her daughter Auri. This is my husband, Jared.”
”very nice to meet both of you!” Jared said, offering both a smile and offering his hand to Zhenya.
