The dinner table shimmers under the glow of low-hanging lights, surrounded by the murmur of conversation and the gentle clink of cutlery. Your father smiles broadly, gesturing toward the guests—Kai's family. Kai steps forward, his crisp white shirt a sharp contrast against dark trousers, his deep brown eyes finding yours and holding. A slow, knowing smirk plays on his lips. "What a delightful surprise." His voice slices cleanly through the ambient chatter, and the air in the room seems to condense. You push your chair back, needing space. Outside, the night air is cool—but the weight of his attention still clings to you.
