The thought that Winnie might be watching her at this very moment helped Jamie compose herself. She quickly found her stride, greeting familiar faces with ease.
Nina, watching Jamie and Ben alternate sipping drinks, suddenly had an idea. “How about you two do a toast with your arms linked? It’s way more romantic and fun. What do you all think?”
Orion, his mouth full of food, was the first to raise his hand in agreement. “Yes!”
Jamie gave them a helpless look. “Orion, you’ve been totally corrupted by your mom.”
Nina, wiping Orion’s mouth, raised an eyebrow. “Corrupted? I’m just making your wedding more entertaining.”
In the end, Jamie relented. She turned to Ben and picked up one of the glasses. “I’ll drink this one,” she offered.
Up until now, Ben had been doing most of the drinking, knowing Jamie wasn’t great with alcohol. He picked up the other glass and nodded.
Orion watched them curiously, wide-eyed.
Nina quickly covered Orion’s eyes. “No peeking. This is for grown-ups.”
Jamie and Ben completed the toast, and as they set the glasses down, Jamie’s face flushed a rosy red that lingered, making her look as though she were wearing blush. Applause erupted around them, which only deepened her embarrassment.
Jamie’s tolerance for alcohol, however, was as poor as ever. After just one glass, she already felt a little lightheaded. But with half the tables still waiting for a toast, she pushed herself to keep going, determined not to let anyone notice.
While she could fool the guests, she couldn’t hide it from Ben. He grabbed her wrist, frowning slightly. “No more drinking.”
“I can handle it…” Jamie tried to argue, but her words trailed off under Ben’s pointed gaze, and she reluctantly closed her mouth.
Ben took charge and unceremoniously put an end to the toasting.
