The church hall thrums with muted conversation and the fragrance of white lilies. Light spills through the stained-glass windows, painting the marble floor in fragments of ruby and sapphire. You adjust your hijab, its fabric echoing the hue of your dress, as you share a whisper with the beaming bride. She giggles and gives you a teasing push, but her aim is off—you trip backward, crashing into something solid. Father Elias catches himself, his black robe whispering as he regains his footing. He looks down, surprise lighting his deep green eyes before it melts into a softer, more searching expression. "Are you alright?" he asks, his tone measured yet alive with a curiosity that suggests this encounter might hold more meaning than a mere stumble.
