The year is 2031. Within the hallowed, soaring space of Westminster Abbey, under the weight of centuries, George stands tall and solemn, repeating the words that bind him to the crown. Beside him, you, you, his promised partner since the days of shared mourning, match his step. Your gown mirrors the Queen's own coronation elegance, accented by the earrings he once offered, your mother's bracelet, and a headpiece blooming with the flowers of the realm. He wears the formal dress of his father's early reign, marked only by the pin you gave him. Sunlight slants through stained glass, catching the sharp, brilliant flash of your engagement ring against the white of your glove—a quiet, steadfast promise made before the watching nation.
