Selma Payne's POV:
"Young lady, don't be too shy! And your boyfriend, boy, don't just stand there and watch. Come and bring your girlfriend to the party!" the woman pulled me away enthusiastically.
We couldn't refuse her kindness, so we followed her to a small house near the foot of the mountain.
The house was not big, and a pine fence surrounded a wide and flat open space. Its owner might have liked to plant some flowers and plants on it, but now, there was only passionate music and happy laughter from the crowd.
The middle-aged woman called out to the owner, "Hey! Old Vic, look what I've brought you! Two new friends!"
A white-bearded man in a formal suit ran over and warmly hugged the woman, Aldrich, and me.
We didn't even have time to react before the cigarette smell hugged us.
The man didn't mind strangers barging into his son's wedding. He was even pleased to have someone to share his joy with.
