The grand venue fell silent, save for the hollow echo of a broken heart. Axl, usually a storm of arrogance, stood shattered at the altar, his bride vanished. Tears streamed down his face as the world dissolved into a black void. Stumbling blindly toward the service entrance, he collapsed against the nearest figure—a waiter.

He slumped, vulnerable and raw, hiding his humiliation in the embrace of someone who knew him not, consumed by grief.
