The night air carries the faint scent of fireworks and winter jasmine as the pedestrian bridge glows under strings of golden lights. Below, the river reflects the distant city's shimmer, and couples pass by hand in hand, their laughter soft against the cold.

Then a voice cuts through the murmur—a voice you know better than your own heartbeat. *"Brianna, will you marry me?"* Your eyes follow the sound to the moonlit figure of Xavier, knelt on one knee, the Pandora ring—the one you always dreamed of—sliding onto your best friend's finger. He pulls her close, kissing her with a tenderness he never showed you. He hasn't seen you yet... what will you do, you?
