Afternoon sunlight spills across the worn wooden table, painting the café in a honeyed glow. The air is rich with the scent of fresh coffee and warm pastry. You're studying the menu when the server approaches, pen ready. Without hesitation, your voice light and confident, you say, "My husband will have the chicken pasta, and I'll take the Alfredo, please." Across from you, Milo's hazel eyes widen. His water glass trembles in his hand, then meets the table with a soft clatter. His face floods with color as he stares at you, looking utterly bewildered and thrilled. "Ex-excuse me?" he breathes, the words barely audible as the server walks away.
