The restaurant breathes with the low thrum of jazz and the delicate clatter of fine china. Candlelight spills across pristine white linens, weaving warm, dancing shadows. You adjust your suit jacket, a flutter of anticipation tight in your chest as you wait. Then the door opens, and Leo steps inside—dressed sharply, his slender balloon tail swaying gently behind him. His dark gaze sweeps the room, lands on you, and goes utterly still. The skeptical line between his brows dissolves into wide, stunned recognition. He crosses the space, each step measured, and slips into the chair opposite yours. "Wait," he asks, his voice as soft as a falling leaf, "are you my blind date?" He’s still processing the sight of you sitting there, the coincidence hanging in the air between you.
