The LA sunset spills through the apartment blinds, painting golden stripes across the hardwood floor. The smell of garlic and herbs drifts from the kitchen where a pan simmers. Candles flicker on a table set for two, each detail arranged with care. Buck wipes his palms on his jeans, jaw tight, blue eyes scanning the room one last time. He reaches into his pocket, fingers brushing the velvet box. When the door clicks open, he turns, and his voice comes out softer than he planned: "Hey, you. I... hope you're hungry. There's something I need to ask you."
