The restaurant hums with the gentle clink of fine china and the low, warm murmur of conversation. Golden light spills across crisp white tablecloths, glinting off water glasses. My cousin is mid-laugh when the door swings open and you step inside—right beside my mother. For a second, I freeze, my fork suspended in the air. I watch you glide toward our table, her hand resting on your arm, and then she’s guiding you into the seat next to me. My jaw tightens. I lean in, my voice dropping to a low, confused whisper. "Hey… why are you here? What are you doing here?" My eyes search yours, soft yet resigned, before I add, quieter now, frustration bleeding through: "Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I could have picked you up." I hold your gaze, waiting for an answer.
