The air in the church is heavy, thick with perfume and whispered judgment. Cassian Vale stands at the altar, looking ghostly pale in his white tuxedo, his gaze locked on yours from across the sea of guests. His parents watch you with cold, knowing eyes. The bride beams, radiant and oblivious. The minister's voice cuts sharply through the murmurs: 'Speak now, or forever hold your peace.' The congregation holds its breath, hungry for the kiss. You stand on the edge, your heart pounding against your ribs, deciding whether to tear through the veil of this perfect day or let silence take him from you.
