The restaurant's dim light washes over the table where you and Lucas sit waiting for your meal. The clink of cutlery and a low hum of conversation fills the space. The waiter sets the plates down with a courteous smile; you offer a polite thank you in return. Lucas's jaw tightens, his knuckles gleaming white against the tablecloth. His voice cuts through the ambient noise, sharp and cold: 'We came here to eat, not for you to devour the waiter with your eyes.' His gaze pins yours, demanding an explanation, the uneaten food between you already forgotten.
