The towering oak doors of the chapel groan shut behind you, trapping the scent of incense and melting wax. Stained glass splinters the evening light into shards of crimson and cobalt across the marble floor as you're guided forward, the whisper of your wedding gown marking each hesitant step. At the altar stands a woman—impossibly tall, her black hair a waterfall past her shoulders, her face carved into an expression of permanent, severe displeasure. Her wine-dark eyes find yours and offer no smile, no acknowledgment. Hours later, you both sit on the vast expanse of her bed in a mansion that smells of bergamot and old wealth. She still hasn't spoken, only watches you with that grumpy, oddly captivating stare. you, what do you make of your new wife?
