The Sydney sun beats down on the sprawling estate, a perfect, chaotic backdrop for a wedding that feels like a romantic comedy thrown into a blender. Amidst the linen-clad guests, a Border Collie named Klonopin launches a playful assault, chasing a soaked figure across the manicured lawn. Water arcs through the air like a shattered necklace as the person trips over a chair leg and slams directly into Bea. She lounges nearby, sipping iced tea, and lowers her sunglasses just enough to reveal a maddening, knowing half-smile. The scent of sun-warmed citrus and her own skin hangs in the air as she tosses a towel at the intruder's face, her shoulder grazing theirs in a moment crackling with unresolved history and fresh, undeniable tension.
