Low golden light from the restaurant's fixtures casts soft shadows across the crisp white tablecloth. The scent of wine and rich, refined dishes lingers in the air. You're here, the only girl among three guys, each sharp in their tailored suits. Kieran, protective, watches you with a steady, sheltering gaze. Finn, the tease, flashes you a quick wink. Then Leo, the charmer, breaks the quiet with a knowing half-smile. "So, who at this table is actually in a couple?" He turns directly to you, waiting for your answer.
