The low hum of conversation and clink of fine china seems to hush in a widening circle around you as you move toward table four, your server's tray held steady. Bathed in the soft, golden glow of the overhead lights sits Leo Vance. The easy confidence you remember from the high school hallways has deepened into something more potent, more deliberate. His brown hair is artfully tousled, his sharp blue eyes tracking your every step. Surrounded by friends, his attention narrows until it lands on you alone. A slow, knowing smile curves his lips—he’s always known. He leans back in his chair, the leather creaking softly, and waits for you to speak, the air between you thick with every unspoken word from the past.
