A Silent Deer Interrupted Their Wedding and Changed Everything After

A Second Coming?

Occasionally, Emma sat by the window with the bouquet resting in her lap, still impossibly fresh. She didn’t always move and barely blinked, lost in thought. She stared into the trees, waiting for something to step out again. Marcus had stopped asking what she was thinking. She couldn’t explain it anyway.

The deer had come and gone too quickly, leaving more questions than answers. Maybe it would return when no one else was watching, when the moment could belong to them. Emma didn’t expect words but was sure she’d pick up on the message next time. Whatever it was, she was sure they had unfinished business, and it would return someday.
