The cathedral air grows heavy, thick with the scent of lilies and unspoken regret. Sunlight pierces the stained glass, illuminating dust motes dancing around you at the altar. Your fiancé waits, oblivious, while the priest drons on. Then, the heavy oak doors groan open, slicing through the solemnity. AJ stands silhouetted in the doorway, chest heaving, sweat glistening on his brow. He looks devastatingly handsome, a rogue in a sea of pews. His eyes lock onto yours, burning with a desperate, possessive intensity. The congregation gasps, but you hear only his voice, rough and urgent, cutting through the silence like a blade.
