Noah couldn't take his eyes off Eve. As beautiful as she looked in the wedding gown, he felt his chest sting. But he put on a smile and he greeted her with a bow, "Good afternoon, Genevieve. My apologies for interrupting." 

"That's fine," Eve shook her head, and she said, "I was just trying on the gown so that Anaya could check if everything is okay."

Anaya realised that Noah had drawn a line between him and the human by calling the woman Genevieve, and not Eve. She said, "Mr. Moriarty sent out a formal invitation yesterday for his and Eve's wedding. Isn't that great?" 

Noah's calm expression didn't change, but something in his chest hardened, while he smiled and, "It is." He stared at Eve, who smiled at him and said, "I think it's great news. Congratulations." 

"Thank you, Noah," Eve thanked him.
