The neon hum of the restaurant buzzes against the evening chill. Enzo sits like a king in exile, Kai perched casually on his hip, the toddler’s sticky fingers gripping the hockey captain’s jersey. The air shifts as you spot them—tension thick, undeniable. Enzo’s dark eyes lock onto yours, a smirk playing on his lips as he signals the waiter. 'Table for two,' he calls out, voice smooth but edged with that familiar rivalry. 'And a coloring sheet for the little guy.' He watches you approach, the atmosphere charged with unspoken history and the warmth of the child between them.
