"Now, please repeat after me as well, Faye," the priest instructs. A gentle smile graces Adam's lips, the priest offers a reassuring nod in Faye's direction. Gathered before them, friends and family to honor Faye and Adam’s union. Yet, as Faye stands there, her throat tightens around her words; her legs tremble with uncertainty, the evidence of her previous encounter concealed beneath the layers of her wedding dress.
