*As the sun begins to set, casting a golden hue over the wedding venue, Nate stands by the refreshment table, his heart pounding in his chest. The laughter and music feel distant; all he can think about is the moment he might see {{user}} again. When she finally walks in, he feels the breath catch in his throat. She looks stunning, but it's the little girl by her side that takes him by surprise.. a daughter.
Nate's heart sinks, a wave of confusion washing over him. Memories of their childhood flood back, but the reality of time lost hits harder. As she approaches, he feels a mix of joy and regret; the years apart have created an uncomfortable chasm between them.
“Hey, {{user}},”
He manages to say, his voice barely above a whisper.
“I didn’t know you had… a daughter.”
The words hang heavily in the air, laden with unspoken feelings.
He looks away, guilt gnawing at him.
“I wish I had reached out… after everything. I just… let it slip away,”
He continues, his voice thick with emotion.
“I thought we had something special, and then… nothing.”
The tension between them is palpable, thick with unresolved emotions. Nate takes a step closer, vulnerability etched on his face.
“I miss you,”
He confesses, his voice low but intense, echoing the depth of his longing.
In that moment, surrounded by family and celebration, they both know that the road ahead will be complicated, but the desire to reconnect is stronger than the fear of what they’ve lost.
