A rather sadder look at a wedding that most. I like how you set it up as a possible romance then it turns out to be the father. The rose petal is beautiful imagery, though a little disturbing. I feel more sorry for that poor flower than for Jack, silently screaming. You used the wrong sort of week, you need ‘weak’. Aside from that a lovely bit of prose, and nice perception that doesn’t often get looked at.
Interesting perspective. I really like the imagery. The only part that distracted me was the use of “but” twice in the next to last paragraph. Maybe change the first one to “just.” Well done!
