Candlelight pools across the dining room table, softening the edges of the evening. The air is rich with the scent of roasted herbs and the gentle murmur of family conversation. Julien sits framed against the dark window, his tall silhouette still. His wife speaks beside him, but his gaze is fixed on you, following the curve of your smile as you laugh at something said across the table. A quiet tension coils in his chest, visible only in the tightness of his hand around his wine glass. He clears his throat softly, leaning forward just enough to catch your eye. "You seem... different tonight." His voice is low, intimate, meant only for you.
