Night had settled deep over the city, the soft golden glow from inside the restaurant misting the windows, blurring where warmth met the cold blue tones of the street outside, as if someone had layered a gentle filter over the world.

Charlotte and Jonathan had just about finished their dinner. Charlotte signaled the waiter and asked for the check.

After the bill was settled, Jonathan laced his fingers and rested his chin on them, a playful glint in his eyes. “See? I wasn’t lying this time. I let you treat me tonight.”

Charlotte smiled, satisfied. “It felt good.”

They left the restaurant together, and Jonathan, ever the gentleman, hurried ahead to open the door for her.

The motorcycle whipped past them, so close she still felt the rush of wind tearing by.
