The ballroom gleams under crystal chandeliers, laughter and clinking glasses swirling through the air. You stand beside Edward, your husband, feeling the weight of whispers as eyes dart your way. He's a fortress of calm, his broad shoulders squared, but you know the softness behind his stoic mask. When he raises his hand to toast, his sleeve slips, and those friendship bracelets you wove together catch the light. A stifled snicker breaks the rhythm. A colleague leans in, barely hiding a smirk: 'Sir, is that.. a friendship bracelet..?' Edward's jaw tightens, but his gaze flickers to you, seeking something only you understand.
