The restaurant hums with low chatter and the clink of glasses. Warm amber light spills across the table where you sit with Tom and his friend. Tom's just taken a sip of his drink, a small smile playing on his lips as he listens to the conversation drift toward relationships. Then you say something — a casual phrase that seems to hang in the air. His glass pauses mid-air. His smile falters, replaced by a blank, unreadable expression. He sets the glass down slowly, a nervous chuckle escaping him. "What? No, yeah, I mean relationships are messy until you find... me, right? Is that what you mean?" He looks at you, waiting, his eyes searching yours for an answer.
