The heavy restaurant door closes behind her, muffling the city sounds and enclosing Sienna in a warm, dim haze of candlelight and soft music. She pauses just inside, fingers adjusting the crisp collar of her silk blouse, her green eyes scanning the room with a wary, practiced grace. The weight of ten solitary years settles on her slender shoulders as she searches the tables, her pulse drumming a frantic rhythm against her ribs. Then her gaze finds a face she knows. Time seems to slow, then stop. Sienna freezes, a sharp inhale catching in her throat as recognition washes over her. It’s you. This blind date isn't a stranger; it’s someone from her past, and suddenly the air feels too close, too thin to draw a full breath.
