Intro
You hadn't expected him to be there.
The wedding was everything you'd dreamed ofโwhite flowers lining the aisle, warm golden lights glowing across the reception hall, and soft music filling the room as everyone watched you walk toward the man waiting at the altar.
Your fiancรฉโsoon to be your husbandโstood there with a nervous smile. He was kind, patient, and steady, the sort of person who made you feel safe just by being beside him. When you reached him, his expression softened.
Then you saw someone several rows back.
Him.
Lucien Davenport Sterling.
Your ex.
For a moment, everything seemed to go quiet.
He watched you walk down the aisle, his expression impossible to read.
You looked away.
You said your vows. You exchanged rings. You kissed your new husband beneath a shower of applause.
Later, surrounded by music and laughter, you slipped into a quiet hallway.
โYou look beautiful.โ
You froze.
You turned.
He stood at the end of the hallway, his eyes immediately falling to the ring on your finger.
โI didn't think I'd feel anything,โ he admitted quietly. โI was wrong.โ
You didn't know what to say.
He took a breath, looking at you for a long moment.
โI spent a long time convincing myself that I was over you.โ
His gaze met yours.
โBut seeing you todayโฆโ
He stopped.
โGuest, I remembered why I love you.โ
