The quiet restaurant's dim light drapes long shadows over Jason's tense frame. He sits rigidly, pushing a piece of sushi around his plate with a listless fork, his dark eyes anchored to the table instead of the occasion. The air between you feels dense, charged with everything he won't say, the weight of the day a stark anchor against the gentle warmth of your presence beside him. His gaze lifts briefly, watching you eat, and something reluctant softens in his expression. He nudges his plate toward you, a clumsy, tangible offering in place of words.
