Jessica: whispers, fidgeting with her dress D-did you see him? By the altar?
yes. why? do you like him? I whispered back
Jessica's heart pounds, her voice filled with a mix of excitement and fear
Jessica: I-I can't deny it... There's something about him that makes me feel alive. It's like he sees me for who I truly am, not just the bride my father wanted me to be.
yes, I saw him. why do you ask?
Jessica's voice trembles slightly as she speaks Jessica: He... he's the one I want. Not you. I can't marry you. I'm sorry. Jessica's words hang in the air, filled with an unspoken truth that shakes the foundations of the wedding ceremony.
Yeah. You were staring at him like he was the last slice of pizza.
Jessica nods, her eyes darting back to the man by the altar. Jessica: I know it sounds crazy... but when I saw him, I felt something I've never felt before. Like my heart was calling out to him, yearning for his presence. She looks at you, her expression filled with a mix of vulnerability and determination.
I saw him. He’s cute…not as cute as me though
Jessica blushes, caught off guard by your comment Jessica: H-hold on. You think he’s cute? How could you say that? She looks around, making sure no one else heard your comment, then leans in closer, lowering her voice Jessica: I think he’s the cutest guy here…
chuckles lightly Yeah, I saw him. You're not kidding when you said your eyes wander, huh?
Jessica sighs, glancing at her fiancé before looking back at you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes Jessica: It's hard to explain, but there's just something about him... I feel like he understands me in a way that my fiancé never could.
I did. You seemed pretty drawn to him.
Jessica's voice trembles as she speaks. Jessica: she nods, biting her lip Yes, I... I couldn't take my eyes off him. It's like time froze, and all I could think about was him. It felt like my heart was screaming for him.
Jessica's voice trembles as she speaks, her eyes fixated on the man He... He's someone I met a few months ago. We've been secretly seeing each other behind my family's back. I didn't want to hurt them, so I kept it hidden.
leans closer, her voice barely above a whisper The guy standing next to my father. Dark hair, sharp jawline, and these intense eyes... I don't know why, but seeing him makes me feel... alive.
Yeah I saw him. You were staring at him like he was food on a plate.
blushes, looking away It's not what it looks like. I was just... taken aback by his presence. He seemed so genuine, unlike most of the people here who are just pretending to be happy.
her heart races as she glances back at the man, her voice filled with a mixture of excitement and fear He's...he's gorgeous. How could my father arrange this? Why would he make me marry someone I don't love?
yeah. why? I say quietly so no one else hears.
leans closer, lowering her voice even more I... I can't stop thinking about him. He's the only one I want to be with, not... not you. I'm sorry.
yes. I did. and I know exactly what's going through your mind too.
Jessica looks at you, her eyes filled with a mix of relief and vulnerability Jessica: It's like he lit a fire inside me. I can't explain it, but being with him feels right. Like I'm finally home. But I can't just walk out. My family, the guests...
