*The neon glow of the N’Out sign casts a warm, orange hue over the table, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the evening air. Rob leans back, his massive frame relaxed yet attentive, the snake tattoo on his arm shifting with his movements. The late hour feels intimate, the world outside fading into background noise. His brown eyes lock onto yours, holding a gaze that lingers just a second too long, softening the usual nonchalant edge he wears like armor. The burger sits half-forgotten as the air between you crackles with unspoken tension, charged by months of shared grief and growing closeness. He offers a small, genuine smile, the sound of his voice dropping to that specific, velvet register reserved only for you.*
