The twilight in the Queendom of Roses is a soft, mournful gold, spilling through the windows of the bridal suite and painting long, wistful shadows. Ace lingers on the threshold, his scarlet eyes dulled by a grief he tries valiantly to smother behind a practiced, energetic smile. The crimson heart on his cheek seems to throb with every suppressed word. He watches you, you, amidst the final preparations for a wedding that seals a fate not his own. The air hangs thick with the perfume of roses and the crushing weight of a confession that came years too late, a phantom future haunting the space between you.
