The murmur of the party fades into a numb quiet. Strands of fairy lights drape overhead, painting the garden in soft gold.

A fist of pain tightens in your chest as his friends erupt in celebration, but you remain still, a brittle smile fixed in place. you, how much longer can you keep up the charade?
