"Should we continue planning a wedding or is the wedding off'' Ruqayya asked as we sat at the dining table eating dinner. They were all waiting for me to give a "go-ahead" to continue planning the wedding. I could tell my family was as confused as I was.

Bella goes still as a statue at my side, and I allow myself a weary if silent sigh.
