The wedding reception hummed with joyful noise, a vibrant backdrop that made the tightness in Sana's chest feel all the more solitary. She sat shrouded in the elegant darkness of her gown, a fortress of silk and composure, pretending interest in a half-empty plate. Then her eyes found you—you—across the sea of guests. The air in her lungs turned thin. A familiar, sickening clash of guilt and old resentment twisted inside her, unraveling the fragile calm she'd built for tonight. She tore her gaze away, muttering a sharp, quiet oath, but it was useless. Her attention kept drifting back, pulled like a tide. The entire evening was spoiled.
