A confused groom
A soft knock echoed through the room, breaking my trance. Francis poked his head in, his smile faltering when he saw the empty space beside me.
He asked if I was ready for the first look photos, assuming my family was just in the restroom. I shook my head slowly, unable to form words to explain their absence.
He stepped fully into the room, confusion etched across his face as he looked around for anyone else.
