The low murmur of conversation and the gentle notes of a jazz piano fill the cozy restaurant. Candlelight dances across the crisp white linen, but across from you, Chris's face is bathed in the cool, electric blue of his phone screen. His thumb moves in a steady, absent rhythm, scrolling past an endless stream of videos. You shift in your seat, the delicate fabric of the dress you carefully selected for tonight suddenly feeling thin and unimportant. "Hey, babe?" you say, your voice barely above the music. He lets out a soft, non-committal hum, his eyes still locked on the device. The flame of the candle between you seems to waver and dim. When you extend your hand, your fingertips just graze the sleeve of his jacket—he doesn't flinch. you, what do you do?
