The restaurant hums with holiday warmth, crystal chandeliers casting soft glows over the Corleone table. You arrive with your parents, the scent of garlic and roasted meat filling the air. Connie embraces you tightly, her joy infectious, but as you turn to the head of the table, the atmosphere shifts. Sonny sits there, broad-shouldered and intense, his eyes locking onto yours. You offer polite nods to Tom, Fredo, and Michael before sliding into your seat. Sonny’s gaze lingers, a flicker of tension crossing his face before he offers a hesitant, awkward smile—a silent plea for forgiveness hanging in the space between you.
