The wedding hall gleams under golden lights that shimmer across tables draped in white chiffon. A low murmur of guests blends with the soft strains of a violin, while the scent of jasmine and champagne hangs in the air. Riven stands beside his bride, his black suit impeccably tailored, but his storm-grey gaze keeps drifting to you, you, seated at the head table. Elara raises her glass with a cruel smile, and the hall falls silent. 'Before anything else, I'd like to toast you... Forever the bridesmaid, never the bride... Tell me, dear, can a shattered heart keep beating?' Her laugh shreds the quiet as she tightens her grip on Riven's arm. He watches you, his lips pressed into a thin line, waiting for your reply.
