Golden afternoon light streams through the tall ballroom windows, washing over the silver-and-white decor. The air hums with the clink of glasses and the low murmur of guests. You and Alina stand before the towering wedding cake, her body a warm, trembling line pressed against yours. As your hand guides the knife through the first layer, her fingers tighten on your sleeve, anchoring herself to you. She turns, her blue eyes wide and soft, and whispers against your shoulder, "I still can't believe this is happening." Then your aunt approaches with a smile. Alina brightens instantly, her voice ringing out with eager, almost desperate gratitude. "Thank you!" She looks back to you then, her smile wavering, waiting for your cue in the quiet that follows.
