The reluctant vow
“You see this marriage? It is not for the public. Forget the cameras, the dancing, the expensive suits. All that is noise. When all the noise fades, what is left is character. Compassion. Patience.”
He looked directly at Regan.
“You, young man — you now carry not just her body in your house, but her peace of mind. Guard it well.”
Then to Zara.
“And you, Zara… you must remember that a wife is not a title. It is a duty. Not to shrink yourself for any man — never — but to remember that sometimes, love is shown in silence. In wisdom. In timing. Be gentle, even when you’re angry.”
Zara swallowed hard. She didn’t speak, but her eyes glistened.
