As I stepped into the lobby, my eyes immediately found Daniel. He stood near the entrance, looking handsome in a tailored black suit that practically screamed expensive. His dark hair was slicked back neatly.

When our eyes met, his face brightened. His lips curved into a warm, genuine smile that made me second guess myself for a second. I wasn’t expecting him to light up like that.

I walked toward him slowly, feeling his gaze fix on me, watching every step I took. It made me slightly self–conscious, even though I had spent time carefully choosing my outfit. I had picked an ocean–blue dress that hugged my figure in all the right ways.

A tall, red–haired hostess greeted us with a charming smile and led us to a private table by the window. The view was breathtaking, but I struggled to appreciate it. My thoughts were too tangled, too conflicted.

Daniel pulled out a chair for me, his hand brushing lightly against my back as I sat down. I offered a quiet “thank you,” trying not to seem as tense as I felt.

As he took the seat beside me, his eyes stayed on mine, warm and full of excitement. “I’m glad you came.” His expression was open and genuine.
