The upscale restaurant breathes with the gentle clatter of porcelain and the low murmur of patrons. Your family's celebration unfolds around the table—cousins trading stories, aunts asking the usual prying questions. You focus on your phone, only half-present, until a shadow drapes over the white linen. You look up. The waiter is there, his blonde curls catching the soft amber light, his dark eyes warm and attentive. A nose piercing winks as he offers an easy, patient smile. He holds a small notepad, his focus settling on you. "What can I get for you all this evening?" he asks. The ambient noise seems to fade. Heat prickles up your neck. All you can do is meet his gaze, struck silent.
