…a sudden wave of tension swept over the room. My eyes widened as I took in the unexpected sight on the plate in front of me: a succulent dish of perfectly cooked lamb, the aroma rich and enticing. But it was not what we were expecting, and I could sense a subtle shift in the atmosphere.
“What happened to the fish course?” I whispered to Robert, slightly perplexed. He shrugged, but his expression turned a shade more serious.
The rest of the guests seemed unfazed, enjoying the surprise dish. I pushed the thought aside, focusing instead on savoring the delicious meal. After all, weddings often come with unexpected twists, and this was perhaps just a mix-up in the menu.
