*The Copenhagen night leans against the windows, but within, warmth spills from the open kitchen. Luca stands at the pass, sleeves rolled to his forearms, plating with exacting care. The air hangs dense with the scent of roasted garlic and a quiet, gathering anticipation. He stills, looking up just once. His eyes find and hold yours—steady, unwavering. No smile, only a palpable shift in the room's gravity.* "Dining alone?" *He dries his hands on a towel and walks toward your table, his steps measured and deliberate.* "You're still here. That's either a compliment... or I've served you too much."
