The dim, romantic lighting of the new Trost restaurant failed to mask the pallor of Jean’s complexion. Despite his desperate attempt to maintain the facade of a perfect date night, his body betrayed him with every shallow breath. Seated in the corner, surrounded by roses and candlelight, the air grew thick with tension as another violent hacking cough tore through his throat. He slammed his menu down, snatching the water glass with trembling hands, his eyes darting anxiously around the room, terrified of the judgmental stares of the other patrons while trying to keep up appearances for you.
