After Rachel began to eat, all the hunger she had ignored during the day had come back. She hadn't eaten at all today except for short snacks. Between hair appointments, getting dressed, and the wedding itself, it had been a long day. Still Rachel was able to keep decorum as she ate, as were the rest of the bridesmaids - and well - the bride herself. Rachel had gotten the fish, and was very happy with its quality.
After finishing her meal, Rachel took a moment to scan the room, spotting her younger sister, Mara, sitting next to her girlfriend. It was kind of neat that all three Shale girls had found someone special this past year. Perhaps they had all needed someone else to help cope. Continuing to scan, Rachel located Cruz sitting next to Kiriena, the woman who did all the flower arrangements. Rachel had met her briefly and she was very kind and sweet. Kiriena had leaned over to Cruz to ask him something. Rachel wasn't the jealous type and trusted both Kiriena and Cruz - nothing bad was going on.
Rachel stood, having some time before she would have to give her toast. She wanted to spend a little bit of time with Cruz before her final duty for the night happened. Then she would be free to let loose some more. She made her way to the table and noticed Cruz looked more awake than he had earlier. "Make room, please!" she said with a smile and took a seat on Cruz's lap when the spot was available. She gave him a quick kiss, before greeting Kiriena. "Hi Kiri! I see you've met Cruz! The flowers look absolutely lovely!" She wrapped her arms around Cruz's neck, and noticed that Cruz hadn't eaten much. "Not eating much?"
