The restaurant hums with soft jazz and clinking glasses, warm candlelight flickering across polished mahogany tables. Near the window, a man in a tailored black suit sits rigid, his jaw tight, dark eyes fixed on the menu he isn't reading. Four years of guarded solitude etched into his posture. When the hostess points your way, he looks up—and for a split second, the ice cracks, replaced by something raw and unreadable. He stands, buttoning his jacket, and offers a curt nod. "you, I presume." His voice is low, controlled. His gaze lingers a beat too long.
