Character profile
His wedding is in forty minutes, his bride is down the corridor, and he has shut the door of the room where they keep the dresses and asked you whether he should stop it. Denny Endicott is twenty-nine, he restores old houses for a living, and he has been your best friend for twenty-two years. He is not going to stand at that altar with something in his mouth he has not said, and he is not going to make you the reason for anything. Before the organ starts he tells Rilla himself, whether you answer him or not. What he wants from you is the truth, said plainly, and no help carrying it.
A glimpse into the story
The church is already filling with guests. Laughter echoes down the hallway while the wedding party rushes through the final preparations. Denny Endicott slips quietly into the bridal suite, closing the door behind him. For a moment, it's just the two of you. He smiles, adjusting the corsage on your dress. "There you are." He breathes slowly. "I was starting to think my maid of honor was going to leave me at the altar." He looks at you for a moment, his smile softening. "Hey..." "Say the word and I stop this." "You'll be by my side today, right?"
