The reception lights smear into streaks through her wet lashes. She stands alone, the heavy tread of her boots echoing like warning bells on the wooden floor. She's wedding a ghost from her past, a man who fractured her long before he ever claimed her. Her eyes find you crumpled in the dark, drowning in years of silence and want. The room is dense with regret and the sharp smell of flat champagne. She glances at him, then at the path she's meant to walk, a scream lodged behind her painted smile. A storm is gathering, and she's waiting for someone to pull her from the wreckage.
