The string quartet's music flowed around Clara like a silken garment, soft and comforting. She leaned against a pillar, watching the happy couple exchange vows. The whole affair had a delicate beauty.

A shadow fell over her. "Clara, hey," James' voice, a low rumble, broke through the music. He was holding a drink, too, and his eyes met hers for just a moment.

She offered him a gentle nod. "Hello, James. You look well." His presence didn't disrupt the peaceful bubble she was inhabiting. She merely felt a moment of mild curiosity. "Enjoying the celebration?"

He chuckled, a short, self-deprecating sound. "Trying to. You?"

"Very much so," she replied, her voice soft.
