My Wife’s Keeper

Before I thought she was just scared, but now I know she was warning me, but why? I think of the conversation we had on our wedding day. I stood at the altar for twenty minutes, heart in my hands ready to give it to her for life, and when she finally started to come down the aisle she froze. I heard people gasp all over the room, and my heart clinched. What is she doing? Maybe her dress got caught on something I tried to think of anything and everything that could have possibly made her stop, but as I glanced down at her dress nothing was wrong, her dress hadn’t got caught on anything, she was just standing there staring at me as though she was rethinking every decision for the last three years that led her to this very moment.We looked at each other her eyes showing something I couldn’t quite read; sorrow or maybe pity, I’m not sure. For a moment it was like the group of all our closest friends and family wasn't even there at all. At that moment it was just us and this problem that had just occurred. After a minute or so; I’m not sure about the duration she opens her mouth as if she was going to say something but insteads turns and runs. “Jessica!”
