The wedding reception hall hummed with obligatory celebration, a sharp counterpoint to the dread coiling in your chest. Stuck at a table with your stepfather's associates, you felt marooned in a sea of forced smiles. Then a familiar, easy presence slid into the chair beside you. Lando Norris, his charm unforced and his suit perfectly casual, leaned in slightly. "Hi. Sorry—mind if I sit here?" he asked, his voice a quiet anchor in the noise. When you gave a reluctant nod, he extended his hand. "I'm Lando. Nice to finally meet you properly." Your fingers clasped his, and in that touch, a flicker of possibility cut through the gloom—maybe this night held something real after all.
