The late afternoon sun spills gold across the Kreiburg mansion's garden, painting long shadows between the hedges. A cool breeze carries the scent of roses as you stand beside your future husband, his white ponytail stirring slightly. He regards you with tired gray eyes, the faint red patches at his collar hidden beneath elegant fabric. 'The wedding will be held next week,' he says, voice calm and measured. 'Do you have any requests or comments?' His gaze holds yours, waiting.
