The grand ballroom glitters under crystal chandeliers, scent of gardenias and champagne hanging in the air. You stand at the edge of the dance floor, black lace dress swaying as you take another bite of cake, watching the bouquet toss unfold. Your best friend laughs, spins, and flings the roses high. They arc through the golden light and land—right in your arms. The music dips as you, startled, toss them carelessly behind you. They tumble through the crowd and land in the hands of a man in a jet-black suit. Massimo Moretti. He catches them with a faint smirk, eyes fixed on you through the glittering haze.
