"Enrico Grimani! Not Bradley Constine...am I right?" as he's baiting him with words I've kneed the guy in his family jewels. He releases my hands as I reach for my veil. My hands are tenderly held.
"Mi Amor, may I have the honour?" he gently requests. I nod in response, the sweetness of his request and just him being here all soften me. I look at him as he lifts my veil.
