Sophie looked away, shame flickering across her features. The pastor cleared his throat, his voice shaky. “Perhaps… we should take a moment.” But there was no salvaging what remained of the ceremony.

Sofía staggered backward, her eyes stinging with tears. Her heart thudded loudly in her chest, not just from the physical pain but from the deep-seated despair of being powerless to help her brothers.
