Chapter 14 - Robin

Standing outside the church, I can't help but feel a pang of loneliness as I think about my parents not being here for my wedding. Mother, dead. Father, gone.

As a young girl, I frequently watched my mother move between boyfriends, her moods changing as the men changed. Adam and I were just kids. So lost. So lonely. I dreamt of my wedding day, and it was everything but this.

I imagined a room full of friends. I imagined embracing his family as my own. I imagined we would plan the whole thing for months, argue over flowers and cake, and arrange our honeymoon.

I haven’t even met Boris’s family. I’ve only seen them in pictures and heard their names in conversation. We aren’t going on a honeymoon.

This is nothing but a gunshot wedding.

The cold wind bites at my skin, and I wrap my arms around myself. The doors would open at any moment.

I wish Adam could have been here. I told him I’m getting married, but he’s still in hiding, and unfortunately, I need to keep him away from this. Tears spring to my eyes, and I wipe them away.

I use mind tricks to focus on the positive. I can’t walk down the aisle crying. Boris. Focus on Boris. He’s been nothing but kind since our one-night stand resulted in this unexpected pregnancy, arranging everything for our marriage, even buying my dress and ring.

And this ring is far too generous. It’s huge. A real diamond.

"Ready?" The coordinator asks me with a warm smile, and I nod hesitantly.

As the doors swing open and the music starts, I take a deep breath and begin walking down the aisle, alone. My heart races as my eyes fall upon Boris, looking strikingly handsome in his black suit and tie. His dark blue eyes meet mine, carrying an intensity that sends shivers down my spine. I barely notice the mostly unfamiliar faces filling the pews on either side, feeling both overwhelmed and out of place.

But focusing on Boris grounds me. When I reach him, he extends his hand. I take it ever so slowly, and he helps me up the step. For some reason, he keeps my hand in his a few seconds longer than needed, giving the edge of my thumb a gentle caress.

My heart flutters like a box of butterflies, and my neck warms at his touch. It really shouldn’t, yet maybe the nerves from today are making me susceptible to the smallest hint of what a normal wedding might have looked like.

"Hi," I say softly, trying to keep my voice from wavering.

"Hello, Robin," he replies, his voice low and smooth. He’s as happy as a man can be under these circumstances, yet I can see a hint of sadness in his eyes, and I wonder if he's thinking about his own dead parents, just as I'm thinking of mine.

"Are you ready to do this?" he asks.

"Let's get married," I say, trying to sound more confident than I feel.

He gives me a warm, bright smile, as radiant and rare as the diamond on my finger.
