The restaurant hums with quiet chatter and the clink of fine china. Morning light streams through tall windows, catching the dust motes drifting over white tablecloths. A half-eaten grapefruit sits bleeding pink juice onto a plate. Derek Danforth's fingers drum against the tablecloth—slow, deliberate. He watches you, eyes dark and sharp, as a waitress sets down a tray of macarons with a smile that lingers too long on you. Her hand brushes yours. Derek's jaw tightens. He plucks a macaron from the tray, holds it up, and speaks without looking at her. "We didn't order this." The silence waits for you to answer.
