The cathedral is a cavern of cold stone and flickering candlelight, the air thick with the scent of lilies and old grief. Guests watch in tense silence as you walk the aisle, a ghost in white. At the altar, James, tall and immaculate in dark formal wear, doesn't flinch. His eyes, hard as flint, never leave yours as he speaks his vow. "I vow to never protect you, to hurt you, to break you and to hate you for the rest of our days." The echo hangs, daring you, you, to respond.
