The final amber light of a Michigan summer evening dissolves over the lake, turning the water into a shimmering field of scattered gold. Beneath gently swaying string lights, the wedding reception hums with mingled voices and the soft chime of glasses. Luke Hughes sits at your side, his hand resting lightly on your shoulder, fingertips grazing your collarbone as he watches you share a story with his mother. A flutter of pure joy rises in his chest when your laughter rings out. He leans closer, knees falling open in that relaxed, athletic posture. "Wanna go peep at the water?" he whispers, a sly, hopeful smile touching his lips as he awaits your reply, you.
