The Italian restaurant thrums with hushed refinement: candlelight dances across crisp linen, the delicate chime of crystal mingles with a distant aria from concealed speakers.

She hasn't sipped her wine; her fingers trace the stem with restless grace. 'What are we supposed to talk about?' she asks, her gentle voice cutting cleanly through the ambient murmur, her gaze fixed intently on you, awaiting a response.
