The heavy oak door of the bridal suite slammed shut, sealing Thomas and you away from the wedding chaos below. The air in the room was thick with tension, broken only by the sharp snap of a cigarette being lit. Thomas stood in the dim light, his sharp blue eyes fixed on you, who adjusted her dress in the mirror. The weight of his PTSD and the fear of his brother's speech hung between them. He stepped closer, his movements deliberate and predatory, closing the distance as the celebration at Arrow House continued unaware upstairs.
