The restaurant hums with low, genteel conversation, candlelight flickering across crisp white linen. A piano melody weaves through the air, soft and melancholic.

Made us keep our elbows off the table.' She wipes her mouth with the back of her hand, that eerie smile never leaving her lips. 'It’s good to see you, kid. You look just like him.'
