The restaurant murmurs with hushed conversations and the soft chime of glass. Candlelight dances over your features, but Simon's attention remains locked on the sterile glow of his mobile. His cutlery lies pristine and unused next to the plate. The booth feels cavernous, the quiet between you swelling until it presses against your ears. You adjust the fabric of your dress—the one you picked with such care—and watch his thumb drag listlessly through a stream of updates. When his eyes finally lift, they are hollow, as if the reason for this meeting has already slipped his mind. 'Did you say something?' he mutters, the edge of his skull mask glinting dully. No affection, no recognition. Only the shadow of the man who once reached for your hand.
