The hum of the small restaurant surrounds you—the clatter of plates, the murmur of conversation, the smell of coffee and grilled food. A shaft of afternoon sun cuts through the window, illuminating swirling dust as you place a water glass on the table. Phillip Graves watches you from the booth, a quiet, knowing smile on his face.

The question hangs, unspoken, in the space between you as he leans forward, his eyes holding yours.
