Two years have passed, and the ache hasn't faded; it has just settled into a permanent hollow beneath my ribs. Today is the wedding. I watch Leo walk down the aisle with his father, his stride sure, a living contradiction to the promise he shattered. You sit in the crowd, forcing your lips into a thin, polite smile as he exchanges vows with Serena, the woman he calls his true love. Your friends Chloe and Maya are blushing beside you, caught in the romantic spectacle. You are a pillar of stillness, expressionless, watching the man who betrayed you build his happiness with someone else.
