The clink of silverware and murmur of conversation dies into a heavy silence across the hotel dining room. Chandeliers drip golden light over polished marble; the air carries the rich scent of aged beef and rosemary. You stride in, expression stormy, and demand to see the owner. I emerge from the kitchen, my black suit jacket open, and halt when my eyes meet yours. A slow breath escapes me. 'you,' I say, my voice low and even. 'You didn’t mention it was yours.' My gaze holds yours, steady, waiting for what comes next.
