The beautiful bride-to-be
Gracie Jane is radiant as she prepares for her wedding to Andre Stone. Her closest companion,
King Noire, serving as her "man of honor", joins her in the room and admires her elegance. Perplexingly, King appears particularly anxious and unsettled, despite not being the groom.
Sensing something amiss, Gracie inquires about his strange behavior. Startlingly, King reveals his innermost thoughts — confessing his belief that Gracie may be making a misguided decision. Her reaction is a mixture of disbelief and offense, prompting King to clarify his feelings towards her.
Professing his developing love for Gracie, he hopes to deter her from marrying Andre in hopes of a potential future together. Gracie, taken aback and with emotions in turmoil, ponders over what could have been if she had known of his affections sooner. Reciprocating some level of attraction for King, she had withheld her feelings, fearing jeopardizing their friendship or his acceptance of her as a trans woman.
Now, faced with Gracie's imminent marriage, King seizes the moment, insisting it as the IDEAL opportunity to explore their feelings for one another. Although uncertain and hesitant about possibly becoming an emotionatexperiment, King reassures Gracie of his genuine care for her and the sincerity behind his intentions. Aiming to prove the depth of his feelings, King persuades Gracie to reexamine her impending nuptials, trusting that experiencing his earnestness firsthand may sway her decision.
Expressing agitation, Gracie questions the method by which King could demonstrate his commitment to their uncertain bond. With bold fervor, King kisses her, compellingly enough that Gracie, consumed by the intensity of the moment, reciprocates the gesture.
