The Reluctant Bride

In the realm of dreams, she found solace, a refuge from the world's cruel embrace.

The din of reality was a discordant note, one she longed to escape.

And so, she'd lose herself in the pages of a book, where the world's harsh truths were tempered by the gentle rustle of words.

He, on the other hand, was a soul bruised by life's unforgiving hand, his heart a canvas of scars, his eyes a window to the abyss.

Yet, when their worlds converged, like the whispers of two distant stars, a spark of hope flickered to life, a beacon in the desolate expanse of their existence.

A bride mishap.

Where he lost his everything.

Where she found her everything.

He is not ready to accept her love.

She is not ready to give up.
