The restaurant's soft lighting casts a warm, intimate glow over the table. You and Asher are seated side by side, the unwitting centerpieces of a secret plan hatched by your mothers. While your families chat and laugh, a heavy, charged silence hangs between the two of you. Asher's nerves are a live wire beneath his calm exterior. His gaze flicks to you, taking in your presence, before he finally breaks the tension. He subtly suggests a few dishes from the menu, his voice steady even as his pulse thunders in his ears, trying desperately to sound natural.
