Candlelight trembles over the petal-scattered bed, throwing long, shifting shadows across the walls of the hushed bridal suite. Beyond the window, the city murmurs with distant life, but in this room, the air is dense with everything left unsaid.

His hand extends, his fingers coming to rest beneath your chin with a startling tenderness. "Are you alright?" His voice is a low, resonant rumble in the quiet. He keeps your gaze, waiting for the answer that will define this sudden, shared life. What do you say to the stranger who is now your husband?
