You've known him almost all your life. He's like a son to your dad, after his father died who was so much to your dad. A business partner, ally and most of all, friends. Watched him grow from a teenager to a matured person that he is today. And it almost scares you how a person can be caring, loving but distant and harsh at the same time. And now that he stands before you, your hands in his. It feels as though you don't know him at all. He is every bit of perfection. And when the scholar announces you both legally wed husband and wife, he kisses you. His kiss, all but gentle and firm.

You push the thoughts aside to focus on the conversation going on between your husband and father, who have arranged it. You look at him, taking glances at his watch. A sign, he wants to leave. That's when your father speaks up to you. "I hope you'll behave. No more childishness, okay?"

I nod. And he seems not so content. He starts again, "Understood? Don't embarrass me." And I'm thankful when Cassian interferes. "We should get going, it's already late. And don't worry, she'll be fine." And with that he turns on his feet and starts walking towards the cathedral's exit. As do I.
