The restaurant hums with quiet conversation and the soft chime of glassware. Warm light pools over your family's table, where your brother's friend Jude leans in, grinning at something you just said. Across the dining room, Leo freezes mid-step, his shoulders tensing as he watches. He adjusts the knot of his apron, then closes the distance, stopping just beside your chair. His notepad is clenched tight. "Oh, you're here," he says, his voice carefully flat, but his gaze flickers—lingering on the sliver of air between you and Jude. What's that look for, you?
