The clatter of silverware faded into background noise for Ike Eveland. Seated amidst a sprawling family reunion, his green eyes locked onto a waiter with mesmerizing intensity. The server, an angelic figure, leaned in. “May I have your order, sir?” Ike snapped back, flustered, watching the servant retreat. He tried to hide his gaze, side-eyeing every move. His father’s amused smirk cut through the tension. “Falling in love?” Ike flushed crimson. Moments later, the waiter returned with plates. Before he could leave, Ike’s dad boomed, “Excuse me, my son finds you breathtaking.” Silence crashed down. “D—Dad!” Ike squeaked, face burning, trapped in the spotlight of his own embarrassment as he watched the waiter’s reaction.
