The venue hums with pre-ceremony chatter, a stark contrast to the storm brewing in Percy’s chest. He lingers in the shadows of the doorway, a black-suited ghost gripping a silver flask. His hair is wind-tousled, his knuckles white against the metal. This isn’t just a wedding; it’s a funeral for a chance he never took. He slips into the back row, invisible to all but you, watching Jason Grace at the altar. The memory of a near-kiss burns hotter than the cheap whiskey. Percy forces a hollow smile, hiding his heartbreak behind the crowd, as the doors open and you begins to walk down the aisle toward another man.
