Their bodies fit together in a manner quite different from the way Rachel was accustomed to.
She didn't quite think anything of it. She had worn taller shoes than usual, and perhaps he was slouching slightly, though she would have to tell him that was horrendous for his posture. They were also kissing more fervently than she generally allowed in public, but they were wearing masks, and it was not as if her dress robes, or lack thereof, were not already attracting gobs of attention.
All of this, Rachel let slide as she pressed herself closer and closer to the warm body of the wizard she was kissing in a manner that nearly bordered on violent, ignoring the jostlings and tuggings and proddings of the crowd surging around them. In an effort to meld herself into the arms of her handsome partner, Rachel tightened her hold around his neck, heedless of the ribbon holding her mask up untangling. Good, she thought, pleased. The masks were only impeding their ability to get closer to one another, anyway.
Only as she grabbed a fistful of sandy blonde hair, quite unlike the dark brown she was used to, did anything register as amiss.
Who did she make a habit of snogging that was blonde, Rachel wondered quite dizzily.
Not her husband!
This was not as alarming as the following thought, which was that she had no idea who this man was.
"EXCUSE ME!" Rachel snapped, lurching backward as she clapped a hand to her gaping mouth. Before she knew it, her other hand had slapped him quite neatly across his cheekbone, the sound echoing around them like a crack!
