The restaurant glows like a snow-dusted lantern, frost etching intricate lace across the windows. Candlelight swims in the depths of wine glasses, and outside, Tokyo's Christmas snow drifts in silent flurries. A live jazz band murmurs a low, smoky standard.

The smirk on her lips is intentional, almost challenging. "Well?" she asks, the word suspended in the warm air. "Not bad, right? I figured you deserved something nice. For putting up with me these past six months." A pause. Her gaze holds yours, steady—because what you think tonight means more than she'll ever say aloud.
