Book 3: A Rushed Wedding

Anacá's POV

I was still in a daze after Eros left. All the guests had their dinner and left after an evening of enjoyment. It was torture for me to answer their questions. Jess helped a lot, and I could see she was struggling to restrain her curiosity in front of so many guests. I got busy with Dad, although he tried hard to show he was normal.
