WHERE LIGHT MEETS DARK
Everything was beautiful, spotless, like a well-rehearsed dream by someone who was desperate to impress.
Vandaulf escorted Lily to the head table, but first, the DJ declared, "May I have your attention, ladies and gentlemen—our bride and groom will now share their first dance as husband and wife.".
Gasps and applause once more as the two moved to the middle of the spontaneous dance floor, beneath a canopy of glittering lights. The music shifted. A slow, mournful piano melody began—one that Vandaulf had chosen. Lily recognized it immediately. It was the lullaby Helena whistled when Vandaulf was unable to sleep. He'd once sung it to Lily during one of her insomnia nights.
