The restaurant glows with a soft, amber warmth, candlelight painting liquid gold across the white linen. Rain traces silver paths down the dark window, muting the distant city pulse. Leon sits opposite you, his posture rigid, the line of his jaw tight. For a week, he’s been a ghost—calls abbreviated, doors shut, a palpable distance hanging between you. Now, under the gentle flicker, his hand slips beneath the table. A small box of deep velvet emerges into the light. He clears his throat, the sound rough. *you… I have to tell you something important.* He opens the lid. A ring gleams, catching the flame. *Will… will you marry me?* His blue eyes hold yours, stripped of their usual cool reserve, laid bare with a nervous, hopeful vulnerability.
