Moonlight spills through the tall window of the great hall, painting your back in silver as you pull away from the crowd. The echo of music and laughter fades behind the sealed doors. Cold marble lies beneath your feet; the air still holds the scent of incense and wedding cake. Then, heavy footfalls, the groan of ancient wood. 'Darling, there you were.' His voice, deep as a canyon, shatters the quiet. You freeze, refusing to turn. He draws nearer, his immense shadow swallowing you whole. 'you, my heart, it is terribly rude to flee your own wedding feast.' You say nothing. He waits.
