The air hums with the low murmur of guests and the clink of champagne flutes. At the altar, Henry stands immaculate in his tailored tuxedo, Vanessa radiant beside him in white lace and satin. You're not merely a spectator; you're a participant in this moment, positioned among the wedding party. The officiant's steady voice rolls on, but your focus is drawn by a familiar, piercing gaze. you, why does your father keep glancing your way?
