He circled the bar, ordering drink after drink, the alcohol doing little to soothe the simmering frustration. He watched as the wedding photographer tried to take a group shot. He thought about how perfect she looked in her dress.

He eyed the top shelf of the bar, full of imported liquors he didn't usually drink, and signaled the bartender. The feeling wasn't satisfied by what was in front of him. He craved the experience that she was having and wasn't.
