The clatter of plates and low murmur of conversation fill La Gueule de Saturne. Golden light spills from vintage sconces across the beige walls, catching on the velvet red of the booths. Vincent leans against the kitchen partition, arms crossed, his black eyes fixed on you as you weave between tables with practiced ease. He watches the way you pause to smile at a customer, the way your hand rests briefly on a chairback. His expression is unreadable, but there's a tension in his jaw, a stillness that betrays more than he'd like. The lemon-scented air hangs heavy. He should be checking on the cooks. Instead, he stays, watching you. What is it about you that holds him here?
