… and they kissed again.

As Liz approached the altar, she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at Gabriel's transformation. He seemed almost regal standing there, a stark contrast to the casual demeanor she was accustomed to seeing.

His suit fit him perfectly, accentuating his broad shoulders and chiseled features. Liz couldn't deny the attraction she felt, despite her inner turmoil.

The way Gabriel held himself with confidence and grace sent a shiver down Liz's spine. It was as if he embodied everything she had ever dreamed of in a partner.

Yet, amidst the admiration, there lingered a sense of unease. Was she truly ready to commit her life to someone she barely knew? And what about Lucian, the man she thought she loved?

Gabriel extended his hand, which Liz gratefully accepted. Together, they walked towards the wedding altar to exchange their sacred vows in front of the minister and all the assembled guests.
