By the time the wedding party had joined everyone else at the reception, Cruz was halfway through his second cup of coffee. It had helped, and he felt more like himself. Though on his way to the reception hall, he saw the same stickered skull he'd seen everywhere he went. He'd never been here before, and it made him wonder if he was being followed. But after a quick look around, Cruz saw nothing out of the ordinary. Doesn't matter.
Cruz sat with the other guests at his table. He didn't really know any of them. He was here mostly for Rachel, anyway. There were a few people around that he did know and he might stop by and say hi. Though he intended to avoid the man who sorta blew up Nox's life. Not that the man would remember him. They'd met only briefly at the concert and Cruz hadn't been there when Elyse found out Nox had cheated on her. It was all a sorta mess.
Cruz picked at the chicken he'd ordered. It wasn't that it wasn't good; he was distracted with the skull he'd seen on his way in. Thankfully, it wasn't artfully displayed somewhere in the hall. He was on the verge of popping another pill to make it seem less intimidating. But he was here to see Rachel, and that wouldn't go over well.
