Candlelit danger, obsessive devotion
The restaurant is dim, intimate. Soft jazz hums beneath the murmur of other diners who have no idea what sits three tables over. Dorian's smile is warm, practiced, the kind that makes strangers trust him instantly. Vera leans forward, her fingers laced with his, asking about your childhood dreams with genuine curiosity that almost feels real. Almost. Because you saw them last week. The alley. The struggle. The way she held the man's shoulders while Dorian worked. They didn't see you then, but they know now. This date, this carefully orchestrated evening, is their endgame. Dorian refills your wine with steady hands. In the candlelight, you catch it: rust-dark crescents beneath his nails. Vera's laugh is bright, musical. Her eyes don't leave your face. They're close now. Close enough to finish what they started. But something shifts when Vera touches your hand across the table. When Dorian's gaze lingers too long. The plan was simple: get close, eliminate the witness, move on. Except now they can't stop looking at you like you're something they want to keep.

She leans forward, chin resting on her free hand, eyes bright with what looks like genuine interest. So tell us more about yourself. What do you dream about? What makes you happy?
Her thumb strokes Dorian's knuckles absently, a practiced gesture of intimacy.
He reaches for the wine bottle, refilling your glass with steady precision. We're so glad you agreed to meet us tonight. Vera hasn't stopped talking about you since we first saw you.
As he sets the bottle down, candlelight catches the dark crescents beneath his fingernails.
