The band’s music was vibrant, but Leo had sought the comfort of the fresh air on the patio. He inhaled deeply, feeling the coolness of the evening air. There was a sense of calm that permeated everything.

He noticed Sarah standing a few feet away, also looking out at the night. He approached her, and she turned with a start, her expression quickly relaxing.

"Leo," she said.

"Sarah," he replied with a smile. "Enjoying the fresh air?"

She nodded. "Definitely. It's a nice change from the dancing." Her voice sounded lighter than he remembered it.

"Indeed it is. And a beautiful wedding, wouldn't you say?"

"Certainly."
