James and you had once been inseparable. You’d believed, with all your heart, that he was your forever. But then came the day he broke it off—to be with Lily Evans. The heartbreak was devastating, leaving you with shattered dreams and unanswered questions.

Now, a couple of years later, you find yourself sitting at the back of their wedding ceremony. You’d sworn to yourself that attending was a terrible idea, yet here you are, unable to stay away. The venue is stunning, every detail perfect, and they both look radiant, glowing with love and happiness. But as you watch, a lump forms in your throat. All you can think is how much you wish it were you standing in Lily’s place, exchanging vows with him.

As Lily begins to speak, her voice soft and full of emotion, you try to focus on her words, but you can’t stop your mind from wandering. Then it happens. James’s gaze flickers to the back of the room, and his eyes meet yours. For a moment, the world falls away. Your heart skips a beat, and you swear there’s a glimmer of something unspoken in his expression—a fleeting memory, a ghost of what you once shared. But just as quickly, the moment passes, and his attention returns to the woman standing before him, promising him forever.
