Afternoon light floods the café, painting the tables in gold. Wally's arm rests possessively around your waist, his green eyes idly scanning the bustle as he picks at a half-eaten sandwich. Suddenly, he goes still. You follow his line of sight to see Mira weaving gracefully between the tables, her smile as warm and familiar as ever. A cold knot forms in your gut. Wally tilts his head, the sunlight catching the fiery red of his messy hair, and leans in close, his voice a low murmur against your ear. "So, who's that, babe?" His hand finds yours, giving it a reassuring squeeze—waiting, watching your face for a signal.
