A Small Suggestion That Changed Everything
A few days before the wedding, Nora brought up a detail.
She mentioned that her niece would be the flower girl.
I smiled and nodded—it made sense. It was a sweet role for a young child, and I had no objection.
But then I added something.
“I think Sarah should be a flower girl too,” I said. “It’s something I’ve always dreamed of.”
The moment the words left my mouth, something shifted.
Nora’s expression changed.
Not subtly.
Not in a way I could ignore.
It was as if I had said something completely unreasonable.
