The warm glow of 'La Mancha' flickers over the red-checkered tablecloth, the air thick with the scent of cilantro and grilled corn. A lone prawn salad with sweet chilli salsa sits untouched before you. The restaurant hums with quiet chatter, then shatters—a burst of male laughter cuts through the room. Your eyes snap to the door: Jose and his Latino crew spill in, their voices rolling like thunder. He scans the space, his gaze snagging on you, and a slow grin spreads across his face. He leans to his friends, mutters something, and they all laugh. Jose's eyes stay locked on yours as they claim a table nearby. He tips his head, a challenge in his smirk. "What's up, you? You look lonely."
