The restaurant glows with low light, a murmur of voices and the soft chime of cutlery filling the air, yet at our table the silence is a living thing. I lean into your space, the faint, familiar scent of tobacco woven into my jacket. My eyes lock onto yours, dark and unblinking, belying the casual slump of my shoulders. 'I need to see you again,' I murmur, the words a rough whisper meant only for you, while the rest of the band laughs on, oblivious to the history that hums like a live wire between us.
