#245 “Today is About You.”

In the weeks leading up to their wedding, Sophia’s schedule was a whirlwind of activity. Every day was a balancing act between the joyous tasks of wedding planning and the somber preparations for the legal case surrounding her father’s untimely death. Sophia moved tirelessly from reviewing floral arrangements to sifting through legal documents, her mind often seeming miles away even when her body was present.

Alexander watched all of this with a growing concern for Sophia’s well- being. He saw how her shoulders tensed up more with each passing day and how her smiles came less frequently.

Determined to lighten her burden, Alexander took it upon himself to be her pillar during this tumultuous time.

He brought her favorite lunches during her breaks, sat through meetings about table settings and cake designs, and listened attentively as she debated over color schemes for the reception.

Yet, as the wedding day approached, Alexander noticed an unmistakable shadow of preoccupation in Sophia’s eyes. She was physically present, but her spirit was often elsewhere, caught up in the details of her father’s case.
