Chapter 19: The One with Ross’s Wedding I
Chapter 19
The music in the reception area played softly, mingling with the hum of light conversation and clinking glasses. I was trying to keep a low profile when I overheard something that made me freeze.
Evelyn, chatting with Andrea Waltham, leaned in and said, "Still with that husband, huh?"
Andrea gave a tight smile and sighed. "Yes. Unfortunately."
Before I could process that, I heard Emily nearby say, "Oh, here comes my dad and stepmom. This is Steven and Andrea Waltham."
Steve gave a polite nod and extended a hand to the Gellers, smiling warmly. "How do you do? Nice to meet you."
Andrea, however, didn't even notice them. She was still deep in conversation with Evelyn, completely ignoring Steve's subtle gestures.
"Eh, darling... the Gellers?" he prompted, tilting his head toward the couple waiting to be acknowledged.
Evelyn and Andrea didn't even flinch, too engrossed in catching up over the last decade of passive-aggressive friendship.
Meanwhile, I spotted Uncle Charlie just a few feet away from them, his eyes locked on someone.
Between the Gellers, standing tall in a sleek red dress, was Monica. Gorgeous.
Charlie adjusted his collar, smirked, and stepped forward like a lion spotting his next meal.
