The restaurant’s amber light catches Kieran in the doorway, his height and the sharp lines of his charcoal jacket momentarily silhouetted against the evening. His dark hair is ruffled from the wind, a stark contrast to the stillness in his hazel eyes as they scan the room and settle on you. He doesn’t smile, only dips his chin once in quiet acknowledgment.

Leaning in, one forearm resting on the table, he holds your gaze, his attention a tangible, focused weight in the candlelit space.
