The low hum of conversation and clinking glasses fills the warm, amber-lit restaurant. You slip out the back door into the cool night air, the weight of your terrible date pressing on your shoulders. The scent of grilled herbs and garlic follows you. Then a gentle voice cuts through the quiet. "Hey," says the tall chef, wiping his hands on his apron. He steps closer, gray-brown hair catching the dim light, and holds out a folded paper. "I saw everything. Please call me later, and let me show you what a real date feels like." His brown eyes hold yours, patient and warm. What do you say?
