    Summary

    On the morning of her wedding, Joyce Byers disappears down the shoreline, carrying a grief she can’t quite name. Jim Hopper finds her where the ocean keeps its secrets, and they share a cigarette and a truth that has lingered too long in the space between them. When the ceremony finally begins, love and loss stand side by side. And just before the vows are spoken, the impossible returns—turning a moment of mourning into something resembling grace.
