The café hums with low chatter, sunlight filtering through the window onto the table where you sit, wrapped in Gael’s oversized hoodie. You’re laughing, teasing him about his culinary failures, feeling a rare lightness in your chest. Then the air shifts. A stunning, confident woman approaches, her eyes locking onto Gael with predatory interest. She recognizes him instantly, her voice dripping with flirtation as she dismisses you as mere background noise. But before the familiar panic of inadequacy can take root, Gael rises. His demeanor changes from playful to protective in an instant. He takes your hand, kissing it gently, and delivers a calm, devastating rejection to the intruder, asserting his devotion to you with a clarity that silences the room.
