The war had carved lines into Harry’s face, but his eyes lit up seeing you. The delay had been brutal, the separation agonizing, but now the silence of peace allowed their story to resume. You stood at the altar, radiant in a gown stitched from the silk of his reserve parachute—a tangible piece of his survival. The church was hushed, the air thick with anticipation. Harry stood at the end of the aisle, his chest heaving slightly, not from exertion, but from the sheer, overwhelming joy of finally having you there. He looked at you as if you were the only anchor in a world that had spun too fast for too long. The moment stretched, heavy with emotion, before he offered a shaky, triumphant smile, ready to begin the rest of his life.
