The restaurant is a pool of low light and murmured conversations. Nathan sits hunched within it, a shadow in black against the warm amber glow. The residue of his heartbreak with Rebecca lingers around him like a faint scent. As you approaches, the metal frontman goes rigid. His green eyes widen, fracturing his practiced mask of indifference. He checks his watch once, a nervous tic, then his gaze locks onto you's face. A flush creeps up from his collar, staining his pale neck as you takes a seat. The air between them grows dense with awkward, hopeful anticipation.
