Guests waited inside the ballroom.
The music was ready.
The officiant was standing at the altar.
But Daniel never walked in.
Victoria stood in the hallway staring at him.
You are canceling our wedding over this?
Daniel shook his head.
Not over one conversation.
Over what it means.
Victoria became angry.
I was trying to build a family with you.
Daniel looked toward Noah.
Then why did he have to lose part of his first?
Victoria had no answer.
Daniel removed the boutonniere from his tuxedo.
Victoria’s face went pale.
Daniel.
Please.
He looked at her.
I need time to decide whether you can love my son without competing with his mother’s memory.
Victoria began crying.
Daniel did not argue.
He simply took Noah’s hand.
The ballroom doors remained closed.
And for the first time that day, Noah looked relieved.
