Ollie was full of joy. And to think there was a time he hated his dad, but that felt like a fleeting moment now.
He was happy to see that his father finally married. He wondered if he would be this grateful if it had happened when he was younger. It was best not to think that way. Especially, with Valentina by his side.
Now he felt high on life. Jools was nowhere in sight.
"Why didn't he come?" He asked Valentina, as they started to dance close to the next song on the playlist, pumping through the speakers at the outdoor pavilion where the wedding happened a few hours ago. It was late evening, practically nightfall.
"Oh, he knew it was your day." Valentina sounded as if Jools wanted him to be happy.
"What kind of guy is he?" Ollie winced.
Valentina laughed softly. "He's like anybody else." She told him he was trying to find his way in this old world. "Maybe he needs a friend like you."
Ollie only squinted harder and then he laughed.
"You're just being silly." He didn't want to believe her. Didn't she know Jools was his enemy?
"I knew you would say that." She almost smirked. Of course, he knew deep down, he was the silly one.
