A second dance and this time other people joined the dance floor. Emily allowed herself to notice the others around her. She had her moment with Jared alone - now this was a party for everyone. Emily took the time to look around. She saw Cruz take Rachel to the dance floor and they started talking. Mara had begun dancing with her girlfriend. She also saw Kiriena approach Jay then they began to dance. Emily smiled at that. Kiriena always had seemed a little shy, but still she had asked Jay - a Dominion - to dance. She didn't know if either were seeing anyone, and judging from their distance it was only a friendly dance.
Emily began to survey the rest of the room, but that ended when she saw Rachel and Cruz. She had whispered in his ear and was...
Emily turned so she could avoid watching. "Just gonna turn you around here." Jared gave her a quizzical look. "My sister is - being very affectionate with Cruz right now. I'd rather not see that now.
Jared chuckled. "She's an adult and it's a wedding."
Emily nodded, "I know - it's just - she's my little sister!"
Jared seemed to understand, and Emily understood - she had to trust Rachel's judgement. The song finished, and the couple separated. Emily looked towards Rachel, hoping they had separated. They were heading towards the bar, when she saw them have a brief discussion. Cruz then left and Rachel was left looking upset. She got a drink and left the room.
Well, shit! Emily thought.
She kissed Jared. "We should mingle a bit. I think something just happened and I'm going to check on my sister. You good?
Jared nodded, "I'm gonna go get a beer, see some people. You'll be back soon?"
"Hopefully - it depends on what happened. Love you!
Jared reciprocated, and Emily moved to follow her sister. It wasn't long before she found the spot. Her sister was sitting in a chair, a mai tai in her hands and tears in her eyes. Emily embraced her power and grabbed a chair bringing it close and sitting across from her sister. She put her hand lightly on Rachel's. "What's wrong? What happened?" If Rachel had given him that amount of affection and Cruz had dumped her, heads would roll.
