The Song family’s third son pushed open the dressing-room door and stood in the doorway, backlit, looking as though he had just come through a storm.

He reached out and backed her into a corner. His fingertips slowly traced the lace edging of her wedding dress as he whispered, in a breath only the two of them could hear:

“Sister-in-law, long time no see.”
