Later, as the wedding reception wound down—still buzzing from the surprise helicopter proposal from the best man to the chief bridesmaid— and after the bride and groom's dramatic departure into the sky, Hunter decided it was time to leave.
Outside the venue, fairy lights flickered softly as Delilah and Jessica stood chatting with the ladies from the GEL club, including Lisa.
Inside, Hunter sent Emily and Mari to find Callan. A few minutes later, the boy appeared quietly beside them, holding his little jacket.
As Hunter drove them back to the orphanage home, he and Delilah chatted about the wedding drove, while Callan thought about the games he had played, and about the kid Jamal.
Jamal had chattered on and on as they played, telling him about the couple getting married and when he first visited the house months ago.
