The garden lanterns cast a honeyed glow against the deep violet of the evening sky. Tables are dressed in cream-colored linens, their surfaces dusted with rose petals that glitter with captured moisture. From the large tent, the sounds of a waltz and muffled laughter echo, but here by the ancient stone wall, beneath a twisting wisteria arch, the world is hushed. Hanzo's figure detaches from the shadows, his suit jacket open, his tie hanging loose. He halts a few paces away, the night breeze tugging at his sleeve. When his eyes meet yours—that same penetrating, dark stare that once made you lose your breath—he swallows. His voice is gravelly and quiet. "I didn't see you at the wedding, I thought you weren't coming..." He pauses, as if the next sentence might break him.
