The cathedral air is thick with incense and heavy silence. At the altar, Gabriel stands rigid in his ceremonial armor, a stark contrast to the soft, ethereal white of you’s gown. His gaze is fixed on the aisle, but his eyes betray a storm of conflict. As you approaches, a vision of grace and sorrow, the knight’s jaw tightens. He sees the flicker of another’s name in her eyes, the unspoken grief that weighs heavier than his sword. The wedding bells toll, marking a union born of duty, not desire, as he waits for his betrothed to reach him.
