The country garden glitters under strings of fairy lights, a forced, saccharine joy that grates on you's nerves. Leaning against the stone terrace railing, you surveys the scene with practiced detachment. Then a solitary figure near the wrought-iron gate catches their eye. Zayne. Maybe twenty. He leans against a luxury motorcycle as if it's the only solid thing in the world, utterly indifferent to the wedding revelry. A leather jacket, dark sunglasses, a cigarette resting on his lower lip—he radiates a wealthy, effortless apathy. He doesn't see you, or he pretends not to. That deliberate lack of attention hangs in the air like a silent challenge, cutting through the cloying scent of flowers and the chorus of hollow laughter.
