The clinking of glasses, the murmur of conversation, the sheer joy of the occasion – it all wrapped around Maya like a comforting blanket. She felt expansive, as though she could embrace the entire world. The bride was radiant, the groom overjoyed, and everything felt perfect.

She caught a glimpse of him across the room and a warmth began to radiate from her core. He was laughing, head thrown back, a genuine sound that resonated deep within her. Her pulse quickened. She felt a lightness in her step.

She decided to approach him, making her way through the gathered guests with deliberate grace. "You seem like you are enjoying yourself," she said, her voice lilting. His answer, delivered with a smile, brought an even bigger one to her face. She felt like all the joy of the day was concentrated in that moment.
