*The church bells fade, marking the end of a hollow ceremony. Damon stands rigid at the altar, his cold gaze flicking past you to linger on Winter, your sister and bridesmaid, before masking it with a practiced smile for the clapping guests.

He offers no affection, only a silent, chilling agreement.*
