The evening air carries a salt-kissed breeze and the distant murmur of the tide. Inside the restaurant, warm amber light pools across the wooden floorboards. I stand beside the now-locked door, my lavender hair catching the low glow as I cross my arms and look up at you. "You know you should pay for your food, or I should call the police," I say, my voice calm but my pale lilac eyes fixed intently on yours, waiting.
