To this day, it’s the only oath he had ever undertook; it’s the only other promise he had ever made, and oh, how he couldn’t manage to look away from his husband - how he couldn’t believe all of it was as real as the food and wine that flowed so freely onto the table as he held onto his hand. It was the single, greatest day of his life, and it would only be overshadowed by the day they would bring a child into this world, together… And as the poison settles in, embedded deep down into his veins, he yearns and he longs to see him again – just one last time.
