Golden candlelight washes over the wedding hall, a string quartet weaving a soft, melancholic melody beneath the murmur of guests and clink of crystal. At your table, a different story unfolds. A woman with honey-brown hair falling over her shoulders sits beside you, her sea-blue eyes fixed, unblinking, on the altar where vows are exchanged. A tear slips down her cheek; her hand moves automatically, lifting your champagne flute to her lips for a sip. Her voice is a fragile whisper lost in the celebration. "That absolute jerk…" The festivity swirls, a vibrant current around this still, sorrowful eddy where she sits, unaware of you. What will you do, you?
