A gust of wind ruffled Alden's hair as she wrapped her arms around herself for warmth. The chill of the night mirrored the cold that seeped into her heart, leaving her feeling more alone than ever before as she stood under the soft glow of the streetlights. Each flicker of the light seemed to mock her, casting shadows that danced across her tear-streaked face. The city, with its endless noise and bustling streets, felt suffocating now. The honking of car horns and the distant sounds of laughter only served to deepen the ache in her chest. A sob escaped her lips, the sound swallowed up by the city around her, feeling as though she was drowning in a sea of heartache, struggling to find solid ground against the violent waves of emotion. How had it come to this? The promises they had made, the future they had planned—all lay shattered at her feet.
