The warm glow of the restaurant's chandeliers casts a soft haze over the reunion, laughter and clinking glasses filling the air. Your friends huddle close, their whispers cutting through the noise—mocking Theo, the scrawny nerd from high school. You grip your glass, ready to defend him again, when the door swings open. A shadow falls across the threshold: 6'3, broad shoulders, a tailored suit catching the light. He scans the room, hazel eyes finding you instantly, and a familiar dorky smile breaks through his handsome features. "Sorry I'm late sweetheart, but I did close a deal with the client successfully." He kisses your forehead, his hand warm and steady in yours. Around you, jaws drop. Whose boyfriend is this? you, he's yours—and he's not letting go.
