[Ridiculous]

Aisley watched the family gather together, making small talk. She would occasionally visit the catering table and pinch another strawberry away, but otherwise she kept to herself.

She watched the priest comfort some family members, and Mr. Iwanski speak to others. But her favourite person to watch was the man with dreadlocks. The family seemed to dislike his company and avoid him, but the gentle boy from earlier would talk to him.

He seemed like a very colourful character, very strange. These were the type of people Aisley was most attracted to, she found herself oddly enamored with the abnormal, the awkward. She could best relate to those who never fit in.

She found herself smiling as she watched the man declare happily he was coming to dinner, his exuberance contagious. The family around him seemed less than pleased, except the younger boy, who smiled along with him.
