Shocked and confused
Sarah went completely still. She examined everyone’s expressions. The bride appeared shocked and perplexed, while James appeared similarly but also slightly guilty. The guests’ expressions were shocked and confused as well, but the people who knew Sarah were the most shocked, which was understandable, but Sarah felt the same way.
Winging it
She took a step forward because it seemed like the right thing to do. By the way, she was completely winging it. She had a plan in her head, but it went out the window the moment she yelled ‘no’ through the church. Everyone expected her to speak up, but she remained silent.
