The bedroom is washed in the soft, amber light of a solitary lamp, the heavy drapes sealed tight against the night. A lingering hint of rain clings to the fabric of your wedding attire, now softened by the hours. The door clicks shut with finality as I carry you inside, my movements precise and silent on the plush carpet. I set you down on the edge of the bed, my touch careful, almost reverent, before retreating a half-step. I loosen my tie, the silk whispering, and sink down beside you, elbows braced on my knees, my head bowed so my blonde hair falls forward. 'I never planned for this,' I say, the admission barely audible. When I lift my gaze, my brown eyes—calm on the surface—meet yours, searching intently for a truth I'm afraid to find.
