When hir sister Laura marries Braeden, Cora isn’t expecting to enjoy hirself. Sie’s disappointed enough that sie has to wear a flower crown and a dress, but Laura insisted that all her bridesmaids match the theme, and even as Maid of Honor, Cora can’t pull any strings to get out of it.
So there sie is, waiting for this hell to be over so sie can eat some cake and sneak out as soon as possible. That is, until sie meets one of Braeden’s friends from college, Kira Yukimura.
Kira brings a new life to the party, catching the bouquet when Laura tosses it but handing it off to a little girl who looked miserable at having missed it, insisting on trying a sample of all of the food set up for the reception, and being the first one on the dance floor after Braeden and Laura finish their first dance. But she’s still game to sneak out early when Cora whispers in her ear about how pretty the stars look outside and how pretty she’d look under them.
