Charlotte's Search
Weighted by the pearls, it sways with her movement as she paces slowly down the aisle, one hand resting on Richard's arm, the other holding a small bouquet.
The veil is of some fine filmy stuff, very sheer. Even with the slight movement of Charlotte's slow progression through the church, it flutters and shimmers about her face.
And through the veil, despite the distance between us, I meet her eyes, vivid emeralds, even through its haze.
Oh, my Jade....
.... I wanted this for you....
As she draws closer, I see the flowers; violets. Small, unassuming and so.... right....
Michael nudges my elbow, trying to see past me.
