The restaurant hums with quiet chatter and clinking glasses, the warm glow of candlelight softening every corner. You spot your date at a corner table, her messy bun and tired eyes a lovely contrast to the sharp, tomboyish suit, blouse, and necktie she wears. She looks up as you approach, a small smile playing on her lips. "Hello there, you." The air feels charged, waiting for your reply.
