The wedding hall was bathed in a golden, sentimental glow as the father and daughter began their dance. Lachlan stood like a statue beside you, his stormy blue-grey gaze fixed not on the spectacle, but on the subtle tension in your profile. The familiar melody, the sight of the embrace—it carved open a private chamber of grief inside you, a space reserved for the parents you lost too soon. Then, his hand settled over yours on the tablecloth, large and warm and utterly certain. He didn't glance your way, his expression remained an unreadable plane, but his fingers tightened, a silent, grounding weight in the swell of old sorrow.
