Phantom kisses

Prologue

The white lights shimmer on the moonlit beach where my wedding took place. My honey blond hair flows down the sides of my shoulders, and my puffy white wedding dress lays draped over the golden brown Sand. James gazes lovingly in my eyes as we stand there hand in hand, the preacher clears his throat.

"We gather here today to witness and celebrate an act of deep love with Amélie Beauchene and James Douglas in their devotion, respect, and love for each other wish to unite in the holy bond of marriage," He said in a loud booming voice James smiles rubbing my hand with this thumb softly The preacher looks around the room "and to dedicate themselves to each other's happiness and well‑being as life mates and partners. On behalf of them, I welcome you all" He says smiling The preacher turns to James

"Do you James Douglas take Amélie Beauchene to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death you do part" He says smiling at James James turns and look at me giving my hands a gentle squeeze

"I do," he says softly looking into my eyes the preacher turns to me and gives me a warm smile "And do you Amélie Beauchene take James Douglas to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death you do part" I smile a tear sliding down my cheek

"I do," I say softly Smiling at James The preacher turns to look at us both " Amélie Beauchene and James Douglas, you have expressed your love to one another through the commitment and promises you have just made. It is with these in mind that I pronounce you husband and wife" he pauses taking a breath

"you may now kiss the bride" James swiftly swings me to the side pressing his lips to mine everyone stands up clapping as we pull apart from the kiss The guests begin to fade in the background as o turn Glancing from side to side "James" i say Squeezing his hand he smiles gazing into my eyes

"I'm sorry," He says as he begins to fade "No James stop...please.... Please Don't leave me again" I say with a chocked sob tears pouring down my cheeks He gently caresses my cheek "its ok," he says softly his voice growing faint

"James!" I Scream trying to grab his fading body "James!" I sob as he fully disappears my head shoots up from my pillow "James!" I scream in the empty bedroom i sit there breathing heavily As tears drip down from my chin "James" I whisper sobbing alone in the darkroom
