Chapter 2: He Already Knew
My hands were shaking.
Millie had no idea what she'd just told me.
She was already skipping back toward the dessert table, humming to herself, completely unaware that four words had just turned my wedding day upside down.
I stood frozen, staring at Graham across the room.
He caught my eye and smiled — that warm, easy smile I had fallen in love with.
He raised his glass slightly, like everything was perfect.
I couldn't move.
A hand touched my arm.
It was Graham's sister, Diane.
"You okay?

"No," I said.

He just didn't know how much.
