Chapter 4 - Stepping Past The Security Guards To Reach Him
Jonathan didn't hesitate as he vaulted over the altar steps, his dress shoes clicking rapidly against the stone floor. He ignored Victoria’s frantic, screeching demands for him to turn around and finish exchanging their vows.
"Jonathan! Are you insane? Come back here this instant!" Victoria screamed, her socialite facade completely shattering in public. Jonathan sprinted down the long carpeted aisle, his eyes fixed solely on his two little daughters.
Lily flinched as he approached quickly, pulling baby Maya tighter against her chest in a protective maternal instinct. "Please don't be mad at us, Daddy," Lily sobbed, closing her eyes as fresh tears spilled over her cheeks.

Jonathan dropped to his knees right there on the dusty floor, paying no mind to his expensive custom tuxedo pants. He gently reached out his trembling hands, framing Lily’s small, dirt-streaked face with absolute tenderness.
"I am never, ever mad at you, my sweet angels," Jonathan choked out, his voice thick with overwhelming grief and love. He pulled both of them into his arms, burying his face in Lily’s matted hair as he wept openly.
