The engagement party hums with laughter and clinking glasses, fairy lights casting a warm glow over smiling faces. You slip away, the bathroom door clicking shut behind you as tears blur the mirror. A soft knock breaks the stillness. "Hey, I know you're in there." His voice is gentle, concerned. "Are you okay?" Through the wood, you hear him wait, and the silence between you feels heavier than the whole celebration.
