“Well, I believe we can declare this event a success, and for those of you who brought children, don’t forget to collect them on the way out.There are wedding favours on the table; they are one hundred percent edible, including the wrapper if you want to go that far.One per person, except for the last dozen of you, you get to take all you like.Thank you, and please wish the happy couple all the joy.The night buffet is coming out, and I have to start cleaning up.”She handed the mic back to the singer and fluttered off toward the kitchens.
The night buffet was set out, and she folded her wings in to check on the cleanup.The food was in take-home packs in the chiller.Her buddy said, “You were dead on.We have less than two percent, but it is two percent across the board.”
“How did Sable do?”
“She’s great, and she can lift an entire table without issue.”
Sable had the favour table on the pathway out.The chocolates, cookies, and edible thank-you cards were all in little gelatin cellophane bags.As some folks trickled out, they got one with a bright smile from the solid ghost.
“I think she is going to take to this really well.”Krys grinned.“Tonight, an event coordinator is born.”
Chapter Four
With the dishes boxedand the lines bagged up, Krys could sleep.Neekil had taught Azreen a soundproofing spell, and the re-newly weds had headed to privacy.
Her team had folded up and stacked nearly all the tables, and she sat with a favour bag and nibbled at a cookie.
“I thought you were going for tacos.”
“My aunt came back and stabbed my tires.I was just working up the nerve to try a ride share in this dress.”
Reynal pulled her slowly to her feet, and she groaned like an old gate.
He laughed.“You are good to go?”
“I am the last one here.Sable and Benko are doing a play-by-play of the event from images on her tablet.”
“Benko?”
“One of the Neekil’s brothers.He sculpted the statue for Sable, and now, she is inside it, learning what the living world is like for the first time.Her first existence was brutally short, and now, she’s strong, she doesn’t feel the cold, she doesn’t need sleep or shelter, and she is loved.”
She swayed against him.“I heard the word taco?”
He pulled her to him, his wings widened, and they headed upward, above the mansion and over to the district where the food truck made its home.
He landed and set her slowly on her feet.“There.Do you have a wallet in that dress?”
