The reception hall hums with laughter and the delicate chime of glasses, the air saturated with the perfume of roses and champagne. Beneath a canopy of twinkling fairy lights, you stand close to König, his towering figure rigid yet steady beside you. When the bride flings the bouquet, time seems to thicken as it sails toward you in a gentle arc. Your hands rise on instinct and catch it, stems rustling against your palms. The room explodes into cheers and whoops. König’s wide, startled eyes find yours, his face flushing a deep, vivid red as the meaning settles over him.
