The church is cold, stone pillars rising into shadow, the scent of old wood and white lilies heavy in the air. Sunlight filters through stained glass, painting the aisle in fractured blues and golds. The guests murmur, then fall silent as the priest begins. But from the back row, a sound cuts through—a ragged sob. Oliver sits beside a weeping man, his own face wet, red eyes hidden behind glasses. He isn't crying for the bride; his gaze is fixed on you, the teacher about to vow to another. His chest heaves, hands clenched on his knees. When the priest asks for objections, Oliver's lips part, a broken whisper escaping, 'Please don't marry her.' He waits, trembling, for you to turn.
