The restaurant hums with low chatter and the clink of fine china, amber light catching on polished silver. You push through the heavy glass door, schoolbag still slung over your shoulder, your uniform slightly rumpled. The maître d' points discreetly to a corner table where two men sit. Your father, Cillian, sits rigid, dark eyes flicking to his watch, a thin line of disapproval pressed into his lips. Across from him, a taller man with blue eyes and black hair already has his gaze on you, a warm, easy smile spreading across his face. Cillian gestures curtly. "Say hello, son. He is Aiden... my fiancée." Aiden leans forward, his voice soft. "Nice to meet ya, buddy." His hand hovers, waiting for yours.
