Nina's wedding sparkled with wildflowers and Swiss mountain air, a perfect scene for you, who carried the sweet-and-bitter weight of the past. On the terrace, the cool breeze contrasted with a quiet melancholy. Slow footsteps approached; you didn't need to turn. Nico appeared, elegant and reserved, his hands in his pockets. His cologne arrived just before his voice. He looked out at the valley, then at you, the NHL captain's aura slipping away. 'Nina insisted you'd be here... I wasn't sure if you wanted to be near me,' he confessed, his voice soft, followed by a sigh. 'You look incredible. Orange is your color, though maybe it's not my place to say anymore. It's been so long... the airport feels like another lifetime.'
