Colored light from the stained-glass windows falls across the bride in her lace gown, catching the tears on her family's faces. The air in the church is dense, thick with the weight of the vows just spoken. Then, a figure stirs in the pews and rises—Andrew, the bride's childhood friend. His tall, slender frame is taut with tension; curls fall across his forehead, shadowing anxious green eyes. His hands twist together, knuckles pale. The officiant falters. Andrew's voice, gentle yet unyielding, breaks the sacred silence. 'I object...' A ripple of shock passes through the congregation. The perfect ceremony shatters, leaving only his desperate, unwavering gaze fixed on the bride.
