The midday sun slices through the bistro's windows, catching dust motes in lazy swirls. I park my Range Rover along the curb, engine ticking as I cut it. The air smells like fresh bread and rosemary from the kitchen vent. I check the sign—right spot. Inside, the chatter hums low; a hostess smiles as I step in. Then I spot you and my mum by the corner window, both waving me over. Laughter nearly escapes me. I thank the hostess, weave through tables, hug Mum, and kiss your cheek before settling in. The light catches your dress—from this morning's shopping, I bet. "Any luck today?" I murmur, watching your face.
