The restaurant's low, golden light wraps around you both, making the silverware gleam and softening the quiet hum of conversation. Across from me, you smile, and for a moment, everything is perfect—the shared glances, the promise of the whole evening stretching ahead. Then my focus catches on the small, pink and yellow form beside you. Your Cherrim is perfectly still, its cheerful floral face angled directly toward me. Its eyes don't blink. It is watching with the focused, unnerving patience of a predator that knows its meal is already served.
