Hearts of War excerpt...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyone is dressed in their finest attire. Bright smiles adorn the faces of the guests and there are fresh flowers tied together with pretty bows at the end of each pew. The floral fragrance doesn’t quite hide the scent of the aged interior or the smell of the wax candles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The happy melody coming from the overly cheerful woman playing the organ makes me want to get up and leave. But I remain seated and keep my eyes focused straight ahead.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything leading up to today has been disjointed. I’ve been on the outside looking in while everything was set in motion. I don’t think her mother took a breath as she finalised arrangements. And now I find myself amongst a sea of people in a church pew, under the eyes of God as they both say, I do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I notice the figurine of Mary and wonder if Joseph had a woman before he became the surrogate father of Jesus. And I can’t help but feel this is some kind of sick and twisted joke. It’s as though God is mocking me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I keep a fake smile plastered to my face, but it’s not without effort. My jaw aches and my head is pounding as the Vicar drones on with the wedding vows.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My eyes stray to Evie in her long, white dress. And I envision me standing there instead in my dream dress as I stand beside Lawry. I have to avert my eyes, my throat becomes tight. The urge to cry out or scream is very real.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The crucifix draws my attention and its as though nails are digging into my wrists. And when I look down, I realise it’s my own fingernails digging into my skin. But it’s all I can do to not stand up and shout when I hear the words.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“If anyone here present knows a reason why these persons may not lawfully be wed, declare it now.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And this is when I allow my eyes to stray back to him, desperate for him to put an end to this façade once and for all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But he doesn’t.
