The wedding cake looked like an elaborate monument to joy, a concept that felt utterly alien to Miles. He sat at the bar, nursing a drink, watching the carefully choreographed happiness around him. Each laugh, each embrace, just added to his sense of isolation. His shoulders slumped.

He closed his eyes for a moment, the throbbing behind his eyes growing stronger. The weight of everything he was carrying felt immense, pressing him down.
