The restaurant hums with low chatter, the air thick with the scent of gourmet cuisine. At the table, tension simmers beneath polite conversation. Chris, returned from abroad, fixes his gaze solely on you, ignoring the man beside her. Damien sits calmly, his dark eyes observant, watching the unspoken challenge. When the waiter sets down the drinks, you notices Damien’s preference and silently swaps their glasses, choosing the non-sweet option for herself. Chris frowns, confused by the gesture. "My husband doesn't like sweets," you explains with a gentle smile, causing their friends to giggle. Damien takes a sip, his expression shifting from stoic to triumphant as he locks eyes with Chris, a silent, victorious smirk playing on his lips.
