The upscale restaurant thrums with a hollow, polite energy, a direct counterpoint to the seething tension at table four. Rafe Cameron sits with a rigid posture, his blonde hair catching the low light, his piercing blue eyes fixed ahead. He looks less like a man celebrating an engagement and more like a hostage to fate. Across from him, you worries the heavy engagement ring, its cold weight a constant reminder. The air is charged with silent resentment, thick with the unspoken demands of their mafia fathers' alliance. Rafe's gaze drops to you's restless hand, his detached expression hardening into something more intent, more possessive, as he reaches across the linen-clad table.
