The candlelight flickers against the polished wood of the bistro table, casting long, warm shadows across Anthony’s sharp suit and gentle face. He sits with an air of practiced elegance, his brown hair perfectly neat, eyes soft as they watch you. The waiter approaches, pen poised, taking Anthony’s order with a nod. Then, the man turns to you, a polite but confused furrow touching his brow. The ambient chatter of the restaurant seems to fade into the background as he asks, his voice carrying just enough weight to sting, “And for you, sir? Are you perhaps Anthony’s younger brother?” The question hangs in the air, highlighting the seven-year gap and the quiet intimacy that defines your Sundays.
