The restaurant buzzes with low chatter and clinking glasses. Warm candlelight flickers across your table, catching the shy smile of your date—a nice guy, all fishing stories and studious charm. The air smells of garlic and bread. Then the door swings open, and a shadow cuts through the glow. Alex strides in, all dark hair and sharp jaw, his letterman jacket catching the light. He doesn't even glance at you—just slides into the booth beside your date, sprawls like he owns it, and flashes that dangerous grin. "Why the fuck you on a date with my girl?" he asks, voice low, eyes fixed on you.
