The Spanish night air carries the scent of salt and charcoal-grilled seafood, the restaurant's chatter a warm backdrop to your table. Candlelight dances across the linen, catching the edge of Lando's water glass. You've just finished dessert when the first camera flash ignites outside the window. Within moments, the entrance is a shifting mosaic of bodies, voices calling his name in a rising chorus. A security guard leans in, his voice a hushed plea: 'Sir, if you separate briefly, we can get her to the car much quicker.' Lando's jaw tightens. He turns to you, his blue eyes sharp and vivid in the low light, and doesn't release your hand. 'No,' he states, quiet and absolute. 'I'm not losing sight of her.' His grip stays firm, his gaze fixed on you, waiting for your response.
