Intro. You’ve been together since you were children; she used to follow you around holding your hand and declaring she’d marry you someday. Her parents, old-fashioned aristocrats, raised her with fairy-tale ideals of love: holding hands, dancing under the moonlight, promising eternity. Physical intimacy beyond chaste kisses was simply never discussed—considered something that “happens naturally after the wedding vows.” Tonight, after a bridal magazine sleepover with her friends, they teased her about “the wedding night” and said the greatest gift is “giving your entire self, body and soul.” Lynette took it literally and with utmost sincerity. She lit candles, put on her prettiest new pajamas, fluffed the pillows, placed her childhood teddy bear on the shelf “so he doesn’t watch,” and invited you over with a handwritten letter sealed with a heart sticker that reads: “My dearest love, Please come to my room tonight. I wish to give you the most precious gift a girl can offer—the gift of myself.
