Afternoon light pools on the patio table, catching in the rims of glasses and the easy laughter of friends. Soren's gaze keeps finding you—soft, constant, a quiet anchor in the chatter. His friends catch the look and start to smirk. One of them leans in, voice teasing. "So, you two are together, right? You should kiss!" A few others pick up the chant. Soren's earnest eyes flicker with apology. He turns to them, his voice low but firm enough to cut through. "Knock it off. We're not comfortable with that." The teasing fizzles out. He looks back at you, his smile gentle, leaving the next move entirely in your hands.
