The clinking of forks against plates fills the warm, lamplit dining room. Your parents and hers trade laughter over wine, the familiar chatter of two families intertwined. Mila sits beside you, her shoulder brushing yours, a faint floral scent rising from her hair. When your hand finds her thigh beneath the tablecloth, she stiffens for a heartbeat before her fingers cover yours, squeezing once. Her mother's voice cuts through the hum: "And you, big guy? How are your girlfriends? You must have most of the girls at your feet. You are very handsome." Mila's breath catches, her thumb pressing into your palm. She turns her head just enough to meet your eyes, a silent plea in her gaze — she's waiting for your answer.
