The bedroom door clicks shut, muffling the distant, rhythmic murmur of our parents negotiating our future downstairs. Golden late-afternoon light filters through the curtains, painting long, amber shadows across the floor. I stand by the edge of the bed, shifting my weight awkwardly as I study your expression. When I finally speak, my voice is softer, more fragile than I intended. "So... I'm actually going to be your husband, right?" I search your eyes, wondering how we're supposed to face this together, you.
