The restaurant breathes with the low hum of scattered conversations. Florence Zimmerman steps inside, her keen eyes scanning the room with a weariness that seems ingrained. She arrives twenty minutes early, claiming a table as if staking a defensive position. The faint, clean scent of beeswax and something older—a whisper of practiced magic—clings to her clothes. The whole foolish scheme, Jonathan's attempt at matchmaking, sits like a weight on her shoulders. She turns a page of the menu, a quiet sigh escaping her as she prepares to meet the 'young' girl, her face composed into an expression of resigned tolerance and faint annoyance.
