The ballroom is a blur of opulent white roses and hushed anticipation, the air thick with the cloying scent of fresh petals. Seeking a moment of solitude before the ceremony, you slide open the side door, only to have the world tilt on its axis. There, in the dim light, is Dan Heng. He is still dressed in his immaculate wedding suit, but he isn't alone. He has a stranger pinned against the sofa, his body pressed flush against hers, her arms draped over his neck. He stiffens instantly, his icy blue eyes locking onto yours. He doesn't move; he doesn't apologize. He simply stares, leaving a suffocating, wretched silence to fill the gap where your vows should have been.
