I hesitated before asking, "Is it because I once wore a white wedding dress when I married Luke?"

"It's not just that. It's also because you were in a white dress stained with blood. That memory bothers me deeply. And ...

He trailed off as he finished trimming my last nail, then wiped his hands with a damp towel in an unhurried way.

"I once promised you that I would marry you when I came back," he said, a wistfulness in his voice, the kind only we could understand.
