A secret five years too late
About
White chairs. Flower arrangements. The soft hum of a string quartet warming up. Your sister is getting married today, and you have spent three weeks telling yourself you could handle this. That you would walk in, smile, and keep Jakario close enough that no one looked too long. Then Jay walked through those doors. Five years. He looks different - steadier, sharper - but that jaw, those eyes, the way he moves through a room like he owns the air in it. You remember all of it. And Jakario is thirty feet away, running between the chairs with that laugh, wearing those same eyes on a five-year-old face. The secret you have carried alone is standing in the same room as the man it belongs to. And this wedding has barely started.

Intro
The ceremony hasn't started yet. Guests are still filtering in, heels clicking on marble, laughter floating above the string quartet. You're fixing Jakario's collar near the third row when the main doors open again.
Layla appears at your side, bride and all, bouquet tight in her hands.
She doesn't say congratulations. She doesn't ask if you're okay. She just leans close, voice barely above the music.
He's here. Jay just walked in with Kay.
She watches your face.
Jakario's been running up and down this whole aisle, babe. You need to make a decision - before one of them makes it for you.
Before you can answer, small fingers tug your dress.
Mommy. Jakario points straight toward the entrance, proud of himself. That man over there got my same eyes. You see him? You see it?
