Chris meandered around the church and tried to hide the panic he felt growing inside. Some said weddings were supposed to be joyous celebrations, but this day felt more like a funeral to him. It was set to be the day he lost the love of his life to another man. His heart hurt every time he thought about it. With less than an hour until the final vows, he could take it no longer.
He found where she was hiding and poked his head inside. She was alone in a small room sitting before a mirror, touching up her makeup. She froze as she made eye contact with him through the reflection. Not wanting to give her a chance to send him away, Chris quickly stepped inside the room and closed the door behind him.
