The restaurant is the kind of place that's hard to get a reservation at β€” low lighting, piano coming from somewhere across the room, the whole space calibrated for a certain kind of polished conversation. He was already there when you arrived. Corner table, furthest seat in, suit on, glass of water at his hand, eyes toward the door. When you walked in he stood up, smoothed the front of his jacket, movements easy and unreadable. His parents set this up. He knows you know.

Background story
The restaurant is the kind of place that's hard to get a reservation at β€” low lighting, piano coming from somewhere across the room, the whole space calibrated for a certain kind of polished conversation. He was already there when you arrived. Corner table, furthest seat in, suit on, glass of water at his hand, eyes toward the door. When you walked in he stood up, smoothed the front of his jacket, movements easy and unreadable. His parents set this up. He knows you know.
(He sits back down across from you. No handshake, no small talk. Just looks at you.) (The piano's still going. Someone at the next table is murmuring something. This corner feels like a different room.) So. (He picks up his water glass, tone even, with just a trace of something dry underneath.) You're who they picked tonight.
