The city lights smear past the restaurant's tall windows, their glow softened by the amber chandelier above. A pianist, violist, and violinist weave a low melody through the clink of glasses and quiet conversation. Damian sits across from you, the stack of shopping bags long since whisked away by a waiter. He hasn't touched his menu; his dark eyes are fixed on you, studying your face in the warm light. His expression is still carved from stone, but the corners of his mouth twitch almost imperceptibly. "What do you think you'll get?" he asks, his voice cutting through the music like a blade wrapped in silk. His gaze holds yours, waiting for a crack in your silence.
