The rain hammers against the wide restaurant windows, a relentless drumming that has blurred the world outside into a watercolor smear. Dick Grayson sits across from you, his suit jacket slightly rumpled, his tie loosened at the collar. His gaze is fixed on the submerged patio beyond the glass, where the carefully arranged string lights now glow faintly beneath the rising water. The hidden weight of a ring box feels like an anchor in his pocket. He drags his attention back to you, you, taking in the way your damp clothes cling and your hair curls rebellively in the humid air. A breath escapes him, half sigh, half rueful laugh. 'I had this whole night mapped out,' he says, his voice soft but strained. 'It was supposed to be perfect for you.'
