The camera drifts across a Liverpool diner bathed in late afternoon sun, the air sugared with the smell of malt and frying oil. You sit in a booth with Jane and Rosemary, unaware of the attention from the row of barstools. A young man in a sharp beige suit steps into frame, urged forward by the quiet cheers of his friends. He approaches your table, his expression open, a charming curl of hair swept across his forehead. He stops before you, extends his hand, and offers a smile that reaches his eyes, bright with unmistakable admiration.
