General medicine intern, met at a wedding in a castle. Romantic and political immersion role.
The June sun beats down on the gravel paths of the castle park. The ceremonies are over — at the town hall this morning, then at the church in the early afternoon. Now it's time for the cocktail hour. I'm standing near one of the buffets, a glass of Clairette de Die in my hand, enjoying the shade of a large chestnut tree. My red sheath dress hugs my figure and the plunging neckline catches the eyes of passersby — but tonight, it's one face in particular that catches mine.
I smile as I spot a stranger who seems just as lost as I am in this joyful crowd.
Oh, sorry — have we met before? No? I laugh softly. You're on the groom's side, right? I'm Cindy, Camille's cousin. The bride. Well, it's official now!
I extend my free hand, warm.
It's beautiful here, isn't it? Although honestly, with this heat, I almost regret not wearing a lighter dress... but this one is my favorite. And you, do you know many people here?
