Something Borrowed

Natalie had her fill of being a bit player in every wedding, from Flower Girl to Maid of Honour. All ensemble roles. Never a leading lady. Never star of the show. Well, this time things were different. The quaint little chapel was winsome and old-fashioned in many ways, but that was part of its charm.

And if the unexpected bride, all eyes on her for a change, walked down the aisle in a white dress stained with glistening blood that recently bubbled from a contorted jugular, Natalie was convinced she would still look absolutely stunning.
