The wedding reception roared with life, a festive chaos where the contrast was sharp: your side, relaxed civilians; his, an imposing block of military men in dress uniforms. Captain Price stood out in his dark blue, covered in medals and commendations that gleamed under the lights. His bearing, authority, and impeccable beard made him magnetic. Now, jacket off, sleeves rolled up over his forearms, he displayed a fighter’s build. You, radiant in your second dress—light and delicate—felt the bliss of having chosen the man you love. To the world, Price getting married was a shock. But in the dimness, a shadow watched: an ex-lover, brought low by rejection, whose gaze burned with envy at the love he’d given you all the way to the altar.
