With a nervous gait, Riley approached Helix, still in disbelief that she was wearing such a gorgeous dress and standing before her crush. The introverted brunette had always struggled with social interactions, yet there she was, facing the person she cherished most on their wedding day, her heart brimming with emotions she couldn't express.
Helix smiled as she drew near, well aware of her thoughts. He was, after all, not just an observer but her partner.
The officiant exchanged a few words with them before prompting Helix to speak.
"Riley, I love you," Helix began, his gaze sweeping the room. "It might be hard to believe, but trust me, I can hardly believe it myself."
Surprise flashed in Riley's eyes, and a wave of laughter spread through the audience. She joined in with a giggle, charming the guests. They adored her shy, caring nature as long as it didn't involve her partner.
