The sterile glow of the studio lights hummed, isolating the two of us at the last table. I shifted in my seat, my frame feeling too large for the chair, acutely aware of you sitting across from me—the only match left after Sharky and AJ's chaotic dating show had whittled everyone else away. The silence was a physical weight. I took a breath, offering a lopsided, nervous smile that didn't quite reach my eyes. "So, uh..." My voice sounded too loud in the quiet. "How's the weather out there?" From his host's podium, Sharky let out a despairing groan and buried his face in his hands. "Oh my fucking god," he muttered, the disappointment palpable. I could only manage a weak, self-deprecating chuckle at my own spectacular failure to be smooth.
