“Unless there’s anything else, I move to close this meeting.” Ora paused.
“Actually, there is one more thing.” Nick raised their joined hands above the table for everyone to see and pressed his lips to Sakura’s knuckles. “Sakura and I would like to personally invite each of you to our wedding next month.”
Ora’s triumphant laugh was unexpected, as was Dante’s groan. K’nil grinned. “I shall transfer the credits as soon as this meeting is over, Captain.”
Say what? Nick gaped at them. They had wagered on this?
“As will I,” Dante said.
“Wait.” This was unreal. “You placedbetson our wedding?”
“Only on when you would announce yourselves,” Ora said. “Truly, Nick, you act like you did not expect this to occur.”
He hadn’t, but clearly he should have.
Ambassador K’nil chuckled. “My congratulations to you both. I will be in touch, but for now I declare this meeting closed. All in favor?”
