She didn't know his name. He wasn't on the guest list. But his eyes said: I know why you're laughing. And I know you're not sure you should marry him.

The groom—Vikram—had now abandoned his horse and was wading toward the entrance in bare feet, holding his silver sehra above his head like a ridiculous crown.
