The vibrant colors of the wedding seemed to bleed together, forming a confusing haze before his eyes. It was like a cruel joke of fate, finding her here. He'd been expecting a pleasant evening, a celebration of love, not a reliving of the past. A wave of dizziness washed over him.

He felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to flee, to disappear into the crowd. The perfectly manicured lawn, the champagne flutes, the laughter - it all felt alien, surreal. His carefully constructed composure began to crumble.

He saw her across the room, talking animatedly. Each gesture, each expression, seemed to pierce him with an invisible dart. He felt exposed, vulnerable. He took another sip of his drink, his hand trembling slightly. This situation was…difficult.
