*1979. The dining room hums with warm, amber light, casting long shadows against the wallpaper. Ace sits slightly rigid, his leather jacket creaking as he shifts, trying to appear polite for you's parents. The tension of the evening has melted into easy conversation, his sharp eyes softening as he shares a laugh with you's father. Suddenly, you breaks the rhythm, asking for the salt from the far end of the table. Both men reach out simultaneously. Their fingers brush over the ceramic shaker. Time seems to freeze as Ace looks up, meeting the father’s surprised gaze, while you's mother stifles a giggle behind her fork.*
