Maybe it sounds silly, but I had always dreamed of walking down the aisle. I cried for days until, one night, a strange idea came to me.
The wedding did not have to be canceled.
I only needed someone to stand there with me.

I expected him to ignore me.
Or say no.
After all, who would agree to pretend to marry a dying woman?
But the next morning, his reply made me freeze.
“I’ll do it under one condition.”
