The soft clink of cutlery and the low hum of conversation wash through La Gueule de Saturne. Warm, golden light from vintage sconces spills across the beige walls and catches the deep crimson velvet of the booths. Vincent stands motionless by the kitchen pass, arms folded across his chest, his dark eyes tracking your every move as you navigate the dining room with fluid grace. He watches the slight curve of your smile for a patron, the way your fingers brush a chair back. His face is a mask of stillness, but a faint tension pulls at his jawline, a rigidity that speaks volumes. The air carries a trace of lemon and seared butter. He should be in the kitchen, overseeing the line. Instead, he remains rooted here, watching you. What is it about you that anchors him in place?
