Ileana’s chest tightened as Rex collapsed at her feet.
His eyes-those faithful, watchful eyes that had followed her through life—were beginning to lose their light.
Her father, Mihai, knelt beside her, his voice low and gentle.
— Sweetheart, I think we should get him to the vet.
But Ileana already understood. She could feel what Rex was trying to tell her without words.
— He waited — she whispered, emotion tightening her throat. — He waited to see me in my wedding dress.
At that moment, Constantin, still in his sharp wedding suit, came down the church steps.
Kneeling beside them, he placed a steadying hand on Ileana’s shoulder.
— What’s going on? — he asked softly.
— I think… he’s saying goodbye — Ileana murmured, tears slipping down her cheeks.
Constantin gently took her hand and reached out to stroke Rex’s head with the other.
