As Oliver watched Anna twirl elegantly in Michael’s arms, a whirlpool of conflicting emotions churned inside him. Should he confront Michael directly, risk a scene, and put himself in the spotlight? Or should he continue his conversation with Anna, burdening her with a revelation that could topple her newly minted happiness?
Just as he was grappling with these thoughts, Sarah, one of Anna’s close friends, approached him. “Oliver, I couldn’t help but notice you’re a bit out of sorts,” she said, her eyes narrowing slightly as she took in his troubled expression. “Whatever you’re thinking of doing—don’t. This is Anna’s day. Don’t ruin it.”
