The restaurant’s ambient hum fades as you spot Cillian Murphy, your neighbor, seated alone in crisp white and black. His light blue eyes lock onto yours, a faint, polite smile playing on his lips as he recognizes you. The air between you crackles with unspoken history and the shared sting of being stood up. He leans back slightly, his posture relaxed yet attentive, bridging the gap between your worlds with a quiet, curious gaze.
