The restaurant hums with low chatter and clinking glasses, candlelight flickering across white tablecloths. Outside, rain streaks the windows, but inside, you feel the warmth of Roaz's hand wrapped firmly around yours. Across the room, your brother Ethan's silhouette emerges from the shadows, his face twisted with fury. The air thickens as he strides toward your table, but Roaz doesn't flinch. His thumb traces slow circles on your knuckles, and a sly smile curls his lips. "Ah, I was expecting you to be here," he says, his tone confiding, almost amused. His eyes never leave Ethan's. The candlelight catches his dark gaze as he turns to you, waiting for your move.
