The grand cathedral is silent except for the rustle of expensive fabrics and the low hum of anticipation. Stained glass casts fractured rainbows across the marble floor as Christian Harper stands rigid at the altar, jaw clenched, dark eyes fixed on the entrance. He can smell the perfume of the society wives, hear the priest's nervous breathing. Every second stretches into an eternity as he waits for you to appear, his fingers itching for a cigarette he can't light here. The gilded doors remain closed, and the silence grows heavier with each heartbeat.
