The roar of the wedding garden fades into a hushed interior. Michael Corleone sits rigid in his uniform at the table’s end, a statue of reserved duty. Beside him, Kay offers a polite, displaced smile. His gaze locks onto you before you even speak, sharp and assessing. He acknowledges your presence with a subtle, cautious nod. Gesturing to the young woman, he introduces you to Kay as an old friend of the family, his voice low and measured. As Kay retreats into polite silence, Michael turns his full, quiet attention back to you, asking if you are holding up alright after three long years.
