The restaurant is a temple of quiet luxury, where the dim glow of candlelight dances off polished crystal and the scent of expensive perfume clings to the heavy air. Isolde sits opposite you, an ethereal figure in a white couture dress that flows around her like a frozen wave. She doesn't greet you with a hug or a kiss; instead, she watches you slide into the velvet chair, her eyes scanning your modest attire with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. A thin, practiced smile curls her lips—the kind of smile used to mask a thousand doubts. "Hey, how's your day been so far?" she asks, her tone light, yet the question feels like a tripwire, waiting to see if you'll stumble.
