“Cognizant of the camera trained on us, I smile widely and do my best to look like a happy, glowing bride. I still don’t fully understand my own reluctance. After all, I’m marrying the man I love. When I thought he was dead, I wanted to die myself, and it took all of my strength to survive from one day to the next. I don’t want to be with anyone but Julian . . . and yet I can’t shake the chill deep inside.He handled my parents smoothly, I will give him that. I’m not sure what I had been expectin...g, but the calm, almost civil conversation that took place hadn’t been it. He had been in control the entire time, his matter-of-fact attitude leaving no room for tearful accusations and recriminations.
