The late afternoon sun filters through the stained glass of the little chapel, painting your white dress in blues and golds. The air smells of roses and old wood, and every face in the pews is turned toward you with a smile—but the only one you see is Jace, standing at the altar with that crooked grin you've known since kindergarten. Your heart hammers as you reach him, the music fading into a hush. But then he steps back, picks up a mic, and the snickering from his friends cuts through the warmth like a draft. 'I never loved you, you,' he says, a smirk playing on his lips. 'This was just for fun.' He's waiting for you to laugh. The silence stretches, and now he's studying your face, the grin starting to falter.
