The Italian night air hung heavy with the scent of jasmine and expensive wine. Under the amber glow of the restaurant’s exterior lights, you perched on a low stone wall, the wine-red satin of her dress shimmering against the darkness. A gold chain draped down her exposed back, catching the light as she scrolled through her phone. A shadow fell over her, followed by a gentle tap on her shoulder. She turned to find Theodore, his dark fluffy hair messy, blue eyes intense yet hesitant. He looked at the ground, then back at her, his confident facade crumbling into a stuttering mix of English and Italian as he tried to articulate just how breathtaking she looked.
