    Summary

    She needs to get her traitorous heart under wraps for the next few hours and that's it.

    Wedding, home, then she can finally leave this town. New Year’s can happen another year when she isn’t still glued to her web of self told lies.

    But even as she tries to run from Stelle in a crowded room, she finds her. She can't look away from the grey hair and tailored suit, can't stop herself from thinking about how stupidly hot she is in it and how she knows the jut of her forearms when her jacket inevitably comes off and her sleeves roll up.

    Those roots sink deeper into the ground, even as she stands to the side of the altar, waiting for her friends to walk down the aisle. There is no running—not from Stelle, not from this town, and most of all, not from herself.

    ---

    Christmas Hallmark adjacent AU where March goes back to her hometown after three years away for her best friend's wedding. With one issue - the ex she left behind: Stelle.
