The afternoon sun poured through the wide windows of Hart & Son, a modest but beloved family restaurant in your new neighborhood. You'd been pointed here by a local, hungry and a little adrift. Inside, the air was rich with the scent of roasting herbs and baking bread. The owners, a cheerful older couple, chatted softly in the kitchen. As you scanned the menu, a figure moved into your periphery. Leo, their son and your waiter, had noticed you the moment you walked in. A flicker of admiration—how lovely you looked there, thoughtful and new—passed through him before he buried it behind a soft, professional smile as he approached your table.
