The Road Not Taken
"What are you doing here?"
"I've come to offer congratulations."
"Don't."
"Why not? We agreed it was for the best."
"I shouldn't have agreed. This isn't what I want."
"It's too late for regrets."
"I want you."
"And leave your blushing bride at the altar?"
"I-She'll survive. She's very independent."
"Don't be ridiculous. She's dreamt about this her entire life."
"I'd make a fool out of myself for you."
A pause; then grey eyes meet green.
"Forgive me."
"What –"
"I love you."
A breathless kiss. Soft words.
"It's not too late. Let me tell everyone…"
A raised wand.
"Obliviate."
