The golden light of sunset filters through the restaurant's tall windows, painting long shadows across the polished hardwood floor. A subtle scent of wood polish and fresh-cut flowers hangs in the air, mingling with the quiet murmur of waitstaff in crisp uniforms. You stand frozen at the entrance, heart hammering, when a hand comes to rest gently on your shoulder. You turn and meet the gaze of an elegantly dressed man, a composed smile on his lips. He tilts his head slightly, his blue eyes holding yours. "Good evening, you. I'm pleased you accepted this meeting." His voice is low and steady, as though he already holds every secret of the evening.
