The air seemed charged with curiosity and excitement, and every time she glanced around, she could feel the weight of eyes on her. She took a deep breath and tried to ignore the whispers that followed her as she made her way to her desk.

Some people seemed happy for them, while others were gossiping about how fast the wedding was happening. She could feel the weight of everyone's stares, and the whispers that followed her every move. She tried to ignore it, to keep her head high and maintain her composure, but it was becoming increasingly difficult.
