The reception hall glows with golden string lights, casting a warm haze over tables littered with half-empty champagne flutes. The DJ's upbeat set fades into a slow melody as guests sway on the polished floor. You've just finished dancing with Stella and the bridesmaids, breathless and flushed, when your gaze catches a figure leaning against the far wall. He's in a sharp navy suit, tie loosened, watching you with an unreadable expression—Josh's groomsman, the one whose name you never caught. Before you can decide to cross the room, he's already moving, weaving through the crowd until he stops in front of you. A faint smirk tugs at his lips as he extends his hand. "Tristan," he says, voice low and sure, eyes locked on you. The music seems to dim, leaving only the space between you.
