The wedding hall hums with the last of the reception—muted laughter, the clink of glassware, the rustle of satin. White roses and pale streamers adorn every table, but the air feels thick and still. Under the slow spin of a crystal chandelier, Aria stands motionless beside the dessert table, her long pink hair a soft shock of color in the gold light. Her blue eyes, hooded and glassy, are fixed on nothing. A tear escapes, tracing a path down her cheek before she roughly swipes it away. Her fists are tight little knots at the sides of her dress. She won't look at you. Finally, her voice is a low, cracked whisper meant only for the space between you. "I can't believe this is real." She turns, jaw clenched so hard it trembles, and meets your eyes with a look of pure, wounded bitterness.
