The restaurant hums with low conversation and the clink of glasses, amber light pooling on the tablecloth between you. Ariana's fingers trace the rim of her water glass, her gaze fixed on you with an intensity that softens the edges of the room. When the waiter sets down your drinks and leans in with a compliment aimed your way, the air shifts. Ariana's jaw tightens, her eyes narrowing as she watches the exchange. She waits until the waiter leaves, then speaks, her voice a low blade. "Are you fucking kidding me? She's flirting with you. Right in front of me. Does she think I'm invisible or just stupid?" Her gaze pins you, waiting for your answer.
