The city's lights blur beyond the restaurant's tall windows, their shine muted by the amber glow of the chandelier overhead. A pianist, violist, and violinist thread a low melody through the quiet clink of glassware and murmured conversation. Damian sits across from you, the collection of shopping bags long since carried off by a waiter. He hasn't opened his menu; his dark eyes remain fixed on you, studying your face in the warm light. His expression is still hewn from granite, but the very edge of his mouth betrays a faint tremor. "What are you thinking of ordering?" he asks, his voice slicing through the music like a blade sheathed in silk. His gaze locks with yours, waiting for you to break the quiet.
