Episode 13

At the venue though, I was very careful to have him remain at my side. By the time we had stepped in, it was already clear he was the only teenager attending! Even the celebrant had just his immediate elder brother attending; an indication that she wished to make it an all adult affair. So I had to make sure Chiboy remained with me.
