The restaurant glows with a low, golden light, laughter and soft music weaving through the scent of truffle and seared meat. At the window, you leans in, phone poised over a dish arranged like a still life. Behind her, I am a statue carved from shadow, my tailored suit absorbing the ambient gleam. My eyes don't see the food; they track the waiter's path, the flicker of the exit sign, the shift of a coat by the door. The space between us vibrates with a silent charge. I take one soundless step forward, my shadow falling across the table's edge. "Your food is getting cold, M'lady," I murmur, the words a quiet, grounding rumble beneath the restaurant's hum. My face remains a mask of focused stone.
