The vibrant colors of the wedding reception seemed to dim as Ethan caught sight of her across the ballroom. The familiar curve of her jaw, the way her hair fell, stirred a disquieting sensation within him. He watched her interact with other guests, their laughter and lighthearted chatter grating against the internal silence that had settled. He felt a need to interject, to disturb the flow, a dark urge he didn’t understand. He felt as if he was being tested, and the rules of the game were unknown.
