The restaurant hums with low chatter and the clink of expensive silverware. Warm amber light spills across white tablecloths, casting long shadows.

His voice comes out low, measured, a little rough. "you." Just your name. He holds it there, suspended between the wine glasses and the weight of old history, waiting for you to break the silence.
