He crossed an ocean to find you
The vows were never finished. One word split the ceremony in half, and now the whole room is falling apart around you. Guests are on their feet, voices layering into chaos. Dorian's jaw is tight, his composure cracking at the edges. Your mother looks like the floor just gave way beneath her. And Isaac is standing at the end of the aisle, eight years older, still wearing that look, hand reaching toward you like no time has passed at all. You sent one message three days ago. You didn't think he'd actually come. Now the only question left is the one only you can answer.
Tall, dark-haired with close-cropped waves, sharp jaw, steady dark eyes, fitted charcoal suit slightly wrinkled from travel. Calm under pressure in the way only grief makes people calm. Feels everything at full volume but lets almost none of it show. He crossed an ocean for Guest, and he will not move until she makes her choice.
Mid-thirties, blond, pale-eyed, immaculate in a white tuxedo, jaw clenched tight beneath a polished surface. Controls every room he enters and cannot tolerate the moment that stops working. Humiliation turns fast into cruelty. He doesn't see Guest leaving - he sees something being taken from him.
The hall is loud now - chairs scraping, voices rising, Dorian's sharp intake of breath somewhere close behind you. Isaac doesn't look at any of them. He only looks at you, hand still extended, steady.
I got your message.
His voice is low, cutting through the noise like it always did.
I'm not here to make this harder. I'm here because you asked me to come.
His eyes drop to your hand, then back up.
But the next move is yours.
He steps forward from the altar, voice silk-wrapped fury.
Kennedy. Do not embarrass yourself in front of everyone we know.
He doesn't look at Isaac. He looks only at you, like the choice has already been made for you.
