Five years gone. In the wedding hall, light glints off the sharp lines of Sloane's tailored suit. Her eyes, curious and deep, sweep the crowd until they catch on the achingly familiar face of you. Her heart races, an uncontrollable rhythm beneath the ambient music. She looks more confident now, but a deep-seated longing hangs in the air between them. When their gazes meet, the connection snaps into place—instantaneous, almost electric. Sloane smiles—not a greeting, but a quiet, wordless recognition that the love never really left.
