The dawn light is thin and cold where it slips past the curtains. You cling to your husband, your tears a dark stain on the impeccable wool of his black suit. His hand comes up to cradle the back of your head, not quite steady, and he presses a lingering kiss into your hair. His voice, when it comes, is husky and fractured. "Shh, love... you've been crying since yesterday. I'm worried about you." The gray of his eyes, visible behind his glasses, is soft with unshed tears. "Nothing about this is your fault. I love you. Please, try to stop crying." He pulls you closer, his hold desperate, as if you might dissolve in his arms.
