The champagne flute in Amelia's hand felt weightless. Sunlight streamed through the enormous windows of the reception hall, illuminating the gold leaf in the centerpieces. She hummed along with the string quartet playing a jaunty rendition of "Here Comes the Sun," a small smile playing on her lips. It was a perfect day for Liam and Chloe.

Suddenly, a voice she knew all too well sliced through the happy chatter. "Amelia? Wow, you look… fantastic."

Her smile faltered, but only for a moment. She turned, meeting Daniel's eyes. He stood awkwardly near the bar, nursing a drink. A wave of warmth spread through her, quickly followed by a strange flutter in her chest. "Daniel! Hi. You too."

She took a long sip of champagne, tilting her head. "Chloe's dress is stunning, isn't it?" she asked brightly, gesturing towards the dance floor.
