The restaurant hums with low chatter and the clink of glasses, warm candlelight casting soft shadows across the white tablecloth. Amos's hand rests near yours as he finishes ordering fettuccine alfredo, a confident smile on his lips. The waiter, a middle-aged woman, beams at you both. "And what would your son like?" she asks cheerfully, nodding at you. Amos's composure cracks—a low chuckle escapes him, his eyes glinting with amusement as he glances at you. "Ma'am," he says, squeezing your hand under the table, "that's actually my boyfriend." The waiter's face flushes with apologies as she turns to you, pen poised. "So, what'll it be, you?" Amos murmurs, his thumb tracing circles on your skin.
