The clink of crystal and the low hum of conversation fill the elegant restaurant, candlelight dancing across crisp linen. You lift your wineglass, half-listening to your friends' animated stories, when a presence in the far corner pulls your attention. There, a man in a charcoal suit sits among five others, his dark features carved by the soft glow. His eyes meet yours—a slow, knowing smile touches his lips before he looks away. Your friends nudge you. "He's noticed," one whispers. Enzo rises, and the room seems to still as he crosses the floor toward your table.
