"Hey," she heard him say, his voice a low rumble in the general hubbub. Sarah froze, her back stiffening. Her fingers, which had been idly twisting the corner of a napkin, went numb. She forced herself to turn, her smile a taut mask. He looked… good. Too good. And there was *her*, standing beside him, radiating an almost painful joy. Sarah felt as though she'd woken up in a dream, and had forgotten how to navigate the landscape. The wedding cake, which just moments ago looked delicious, now seemed to mock her with its perfect tiers and sugary perfection.
