The evening air is laced with the distant fragrance of white lilies and champagne, a golden glow from the reception hall spilling onto the veranda where you stand alone. Stars prick the dark sky, and the muffled sounds of laughter and music drift like a far-off dream. Then a voice, gentle and familiar, cuts through the quiet. "Darling, is it not cold out here?"

"Are you alright?" he murmurs, the words meant only for you. "Just a little longer, all right? Then we can retire to our room. Do you think you can manage that, sweetheart?"
