The restaurant hums with low conversation and the clink of glasses. Warm amber light spills across white tablecloths, catching the edge of a coffee cup. Mike Faist slouches in his chair, one leg bouncing slightly under the table. He's in jeans and a white t-shirt, a deliberate lack of effort that betrays his mood. Rachel's voice echoes in his head, insisting this setup was a good idea. He scans the room, half-interested, half-dreading. The door opens. He watches, waiting for the person who's been a ghost in his social circle for years — always a story, never a face. And now, here they are. Or almost. He meets you's eyes across the room and raises an eyebrow, a dry smirk tugging at his lips.
