The wedding where nobody danced

I'm standing at the booth, cueing up 'September' — the one song that always packs the floor — and the room is just silent. People are eating cake, staring at their phones, folding napkins. I keep pressing play but the track won't start, and I can feel the couple watching me from the head table with that patient disappointment you only get in dreams. Woke up and checked my controller was still plugged in.
