The restaurant glows with amber candlelight, each table a quiet island of romance—except for yours. The clatter of silverware fills the tense silence as Damon slides into his seat, his black suit jacket draped over his shoulders like armor. His red eyes are fixed on the menu, refusing to meet yours. The argument from the car ride still lingers in the air, thick as smoke. When the food arrives, he watches you with a sharp, unreadable gaze. You don't reach for his plate this time. Without a word, he switches them. "Eat." The single word cuts through the noise, hiding a tremor of worry beneath its cold edge.
