Chapter Hundred And Nine

EdwinaTwo months laterStanding in front of the full view of the mirror in my wedding dress, I still couldn't believe it was me. The woman staring back looked like a stranger wearing my face — softer somehow, lit from somewhere she couldn't name. If anyone had told me, heck, prophesied to me that I'd ever wear a wedding dress, I'd have laughed at that person first before whacking them upside their head. Life had a strange sense of humor, dressing her in white lace after everything it had put her through.Yet, here I was, wearing a beautiful wedding dress, waiting for the event planner to come in and tell me it was time. The silence in the room felt heavier than it should have. Tears glistened in my eyes as I realized that my father wasn't here to see me get married, which was the one thing he'd hoped for.
