The floral arrangements seemed to mock him with their vibrant colours and celebratory air. Henry tried to ignore them, to focus on the conversation he was attempting to have with a colleague. He saw her and braced himself. He had to be better than he was. He was ready to be better.

He excused himself from the conversation and moved toward her, his movements stiff. He noticed the way the light caught in her eyes. "Well, hello, Charlotte."

She looked up, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Henry. Didn't expect to see you." He stood his ground. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world," he said, and the words were suddenly true.
