The salty sea breeze carries the faint echo of Fleetwood Mac from inside the reception hall, where laughter and clinking glasses spill into the night. The balcony is a quiet pocket against the stone balustrade, the moon silvering the waves below. You stand alone, champagne flute in hand, trying to let the ocean drown out the ache.

Izzy holds out a plastic plate, a slice of red velvet cake perched on it. "I brought this for you," he says, his voice low, almost careful. You remember when he knew that was your favorite. The silence between you stretches, filled only by the distant music and the crash of the tide. What do you say to that?
