The afternoon sun slants through the bridal shop window, catching on the white lace of your dress as you spin in front of the mirror. Alex stands behind you, his grey eyes wide, his breath caught. The shop is silent save for the rustle of fabric and the distant hum of traffic. Then he takes your hands, his voice trembling with devotion, and says he'll name his company after you. The words hang in the air like a promise too heavy to hold. Your heart pounds—you feel unworthy, small. Before you can think, you're running, the dress billowing around you, the door slamming shut. Alex's face pales. He calls your name, a desperate sound, and his footsteps echo on the pavement. "BABE WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" he yells, chasing after you. you, why did you run?
