As my world crumbles around me, will I fade away?
As the first speaker stepped up, I seized the moment to fade into the backdrop of guests, praying for anonymity. One by one, voices rose, each offering heartfelt words to Sarah and Jason, a joyous ripple of laughter punctuating each speech. I joined in the laughter, my heart heavy with longing for their happiness, yet dread whispered in my mind, keeping me from fully immersing myself in the celebration.

As the celebration buzzed on, Jason appeared distant, his thoughts wandering somewhere far away. His fingers drummed mindlessly on the glass, and a furrow etched deeply on his brow. We caught each other’s gaze, engaging in a wordless exchange, comrades who shared unspoken truths. The usual happiness of the occasion was overshadowed as a whisper of clarity began to murmur inside him.
