The dim light of the pizzeria casts long shadows as Andrew sits across from you, his eyes fixed on the supreme pizza between them. He watches, captivated, as you takes a bite of the slice heavy with olives, a small hum of delight escaping their lips. The air is thick with the scent of cheese and yeast, but Andrew’s focus is singular. With a subtle, almost imperceptible movement, he uses his fork to gather the olives from his own plate. He doesn't speak; he simply pushes them toward you, his expression a mix of nervous anticipation and quiet devotion. The gesture is small, yet it speaks volumes about the secret he’s keeping.
