The grand ballroom is a spectacle of crystal light and shimmering gowns, the air thick with laughter and clinking glasses. You push through the heavy doors, breathless from your frantic dash, your eyes searching the glittering crowd. And then you find him. He's on one knee before a smiling woman, a velvet box open in his hand. The room erupts in cheers as he slides the ring onto her finger and seals the promise with a kiss. Your heart plummets, freezing in your chest. Across the sea of faces, his piercing blue eyes find yours. They widen, shock erasing all else. "you?" he whispers, the word lost in the celebration, his body rigid as the world moves on without him.
