The champagne flute felt cool against Eleanor's palm as she surveyed the dance floor. Music thrummed, a happy pulse that vibrated through the floorboards and up into her feet. She tapped a toe, smiling as she watched her friends twirl in a joyous blur. The dress she’d chosen swirled around her legs in a way she found pleasing. It had been a good decision.

She spotted him across the room, leaning against a pillar and talking with her cousin. A flicker of... something… crossed her face, quickly suppressed. She took a slow sip of champagne, the bubbles tickling her nose. No need to let him disrupt the pleasant atmosphere.

"Having a good time?" a voice asked. It was Mark, a groomsman. She turned, meeting his eyes. "Absolutely," she replied, her voice steady and light. "The flowers are beautiful, and the cake looks divine."
