Unholy Desires
The priest reads out his officiating line, then he looks up at us, “If anyone here knows of any reason why this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.”
We all hold our breaths. Me especially. I can feel my hand itching to rise up, but I bite back my tongue, and shut my eyes.
There is silence in the hall, and the priest is about to speak when a shadow appears at the door.
I turn around, and watch as he walks through the hall, heading towards us. My eyes widen in shock, and terror.
Sergei is here.
Surely, he would not reveal my secret just because I ignored his texts, would he?
