The restaurant hums with the low murmur of conversations, the clink of glasses, and the soft glow of candlelight on white tablecloths. You settle into the booth across from Nathan, your shoulders relaxing as you recognize an old friend—not a stranger. Small talk flows easily, but something prickles at the back of your neck. The air shifts. You glance up, and there he is. Adrian. Ten years older, jaw sharper, black eyes fixed on you from a table across the room. A woman with glossy hair leans toward him, laughing, but he doesn’t look at her. His gaze is a brand on your skin. He doesn’t smile. He just watches—like he’s waiting for you to make the first move.
