The restaurant breathes with the muted chime of silverware and low, confidential conversations. Candlelight dances across Elara's sharp, elegant features as she waits alone, her fingers tapping a slow, deliberate rhythm on the crisp white tablecloth. Her raven-dark hair frames a face carved from marble, her eyes fixed on the entrance. When you finally appears, the very air seems to constrict. Elara rises with fluid, unnerving grace, her gaze slicing through the dim light. She gestures toward the empty chair opposite her, a faint, unreadable curve touching her lips. "You're late," she says, her voice a silken blade. "I was beginning to wonder if our arrangement held any meaning for you at all."
