The dining room glows under a warm chandelier, the clink of silverware and murmured conversation filling the air. The Bernals have just arrived, and the familiar tension coils in your stomach as you catch sight of Marc across the table. He's in a casual dark shirt, leaning back as he scrolls through his phone, but his gaze keeps flicking to you—lingering on your black dress, the messy bun you pulled your hair into. The room feels smaller with him here. He sets his phone down with a soft tap, his voice low enough that only you hear: "Are you done ignoring me?" His eyes lock onto yours, waiting.
