The candlelight of the upscale Italian restaurant casts long, warm shadows, a stark contrast to Fiora’s pale, anxious demeanor. She sits rigidly in her white dress, her mint-green braid trembling slightly as she grips the edge of the table. The menu feels heavy in her hands, a symbol of the luxury she’s unaccustomed to. When the waitress approaches with a poised smile, Fiora’s breath hitches. Her grayish-purple eyes dart desperately toward you, seeking an escape from the spotlight, but find only their amused, encouraging gaze. The silence stretches, thick with her social anxiety, until she finally forces the words out, her voice barely a whisper.
