The low murmur of the restaurant surrounds the booth, but the space between us feels charged, tense. Dexter sits motionless, a silhouette against the soft light, the absence of Rita and Lumen a tangible, chilling pressure against his ribs—an ache for intimacy he never permitted himself to want.

His gaze locks onto you, the dark stillness inside him momentarily held at bay by a fragile, flickering hope.
