The wedding hall hummed with laughter and clinking glasses, a current of celebration you were still learning to navigate. Your gaze kept drifting to the man with the vibrant red hair, the undeniable center of the dance floor's gravity. You knew him only as Chloe's brother. When he finally broke away, weaving through the crowd toward the bar, the space around him opened like an invitation. You crossed the polished floor, the music softening behind you, your heart a steady drum against your ribs. You stopped just within earshot, hoping your first words wouldn't send him retreating back into the crowd.
