The bar was softly lit, golden light pooling across polished wood and catching in the delicate stems of wine glasses. Outside, the city hummed with its usual evening rhythm, but inside, everything felt contained almost like a moment deliberately paused.
Tara watched as Norah laughed, the sound light and unburdened, the kind of laugh that came easily to someone who had nothing left to question. It warmed the space between them, yet somehow made Tara feel colder.
"You really have that honeymoon glow." Tara's lips pulled into a simple smile as she lifted her glass slightly to taking a small sip.
"I think you might actually be onto something. You're the third person to tell me that." Norah smiled.
She did. She looked really happy. She was also extra yappy.
"Marriage look good on you girl." she grinned.
"Oh-oh. It does." Norah grinned.
Tar was really happy that Norah and James had gotten their happy ending. It was about time for the lovely couple.
