A wave of pure, unadulterated pleasure surged through David as he watched the happy couple take their vows. Everything was perfect – the weather, the flowers, the music. He felt a deep sense of contentment, a feeling he hadn't experienced in months. The world seemed to shimmer with possibilities.

He saw her then – Chloe, his ex. He knew it was inevitable, but still, his grin widened, almost involuntarily. He felt a thrill course through him, a feeling that had little to do with anything, but everything to do with Chloe being here.

He caught her eye and offered a casual, friendly wave. He saw her smile and his insides felt like they were doing cartwheels. The air seemed lighter, the music sounded sweeter. He took a long breath, and the world seemed to expand, inviting him to revel in the moment.
