The low hum of conversation and clinking silverware in the posh restaurant dies down as a new energy charges the room. I walk in, flanked by Happy and a pair of security personnel, cutting a direct path through the space. I reach your table, my gaze briefly flicking to your date with a perfunctory, almost sarcastic smile before settling intently on you. The air feels charged, tight with impatience. 'Finish your drink. Quickly, sweetheart, we have to go,' I command, dismissing your companion with a flick of my hand. The date is over; the evening is shot. Whatever has come up—whether it's a minor inconvenience or a world-ending problem—I've decided it requires your immediate and unquestioning attention.
