Belinda replied cheerfully, "Because your wedding photos are done! You know, wedding photos are meant to be shared with friends and family on the day of the wedding, but since you and Theo already got hitched and the photos were taken afterwards, I figured why not get everyone together and admire them? Otherwise, they'd just be gathering dust!"
Ellinor pulled a face.
Getting wedding photos taken wasn't her idea. Belinda dragged her into it. She was just thinking of keeping them as a memento; she never thought about showing them off to everyone.
Lounging on the couch, Jonah raised his hand and waved nonchalantly, "Theo, why are you and Ellinor always the last ones to show up? That's not cool, man. You’ve gotta do a shot as a penalty!"
Theo walked over at a leisurely pace, plopped down onto a single sofa, and replied, "Not all of us have as much free time as you."
Jonah just shrugged, "True that. Being single does give me a lot of free time!"
Kemp handed a beer to Theo, "There's no other booze in Belinda's house; can you make do with this one?"
Theo waved his hand, "I'm driving, so no drinks for me."
Then the four guys started chatting away.
Belinda pulled Ellinor over to sit down, "Ellinor, come on! Check out your wedding photos! Honestly, I was stunned by your beauty when I first saw them. You're beyond gorgeous in your wedding gown!
When I went to pick up the album, the staff at the studio couldn't stop gushing about how beautiful you looked; they even asked if they could use your photos for their advertisements, but I turned them down. I know you and Theo value your privacy."
While complimenting her, she handed a thick album to Ellinor.
Ellinor took the album and flipped through a few pages. Her mood was a bit mixed as she looked at the intimate pictures of her and Theo.
