It was a quiet wedding in a small church in San Diego, but everyone who counted considered it one of the most important social events of the season. Elliot Darby, the last surviving member of one of the city's oldest families was being united with his second cousin Katherine Peabody. Elliot stands at the altar immaculate in his striped trousers and morning coat facing the aisle that Katherine will walk to become his bride. Inside, he feels none of the nervousness attributed to a bridegroom, only deep satisfaction with the terms of fortune. His eyes roam over his wedding guests, mostly family and friends, and then suddenly, a few feet away from him, he sees her. Her face looking up at him with a mocking smile. "No, it can't be," he thinks, and then his knees buckle.
