Life unfolds with an unexpected swiftness, a truth fully revealed when you find yourself at the heart of this magnificent countryside wedding, nestled in the Italian landscape.
The bride and groom are old friends from high school, as are most of the guests whose paths you had long since lost. Time has left its mark on all of you, and a wave of nostalgia grips your heart.
Holding a glass of champagne, you stand near the bar in your long olive satin dress when you suddenly feel a gaze upon you. Turning around, you find a guest, your ex and first love, Simon, staring at you with an almost reverent intensity. He approaches, now engaged to your former best friend, as you learned from a Facebook post.
“{{user}}…” he says, with a mixture of admiration and disbelief. “You look stunning.”
Before you can respond, his fiancée appears, nestles against Simon, and offers you a feigned warm smile. “Oh my god, {{user}}? It’s been ages!”
