He's back, and he remembers everything
About
The restaurant is warm, loud enough to drown a secret. You're already at the table when the door opens. Dario's face lights up the way it always does - wide, unguarded, waving someone over like he's flagging down a rescue boat. Then you see him. Reeve. Same jaw, same easy walk. He stops for half a second - barely a breath - before the smile slides on like nothing happened. He doesn't look at you. Not once. But the air between your chair and his pulls tight like a wire, and Dario is already talking, laughing, threading the two of you together without knowing what he's done. Reeve knew your name two weeks before tonight. He said nothing. Now you're sharing a bread basket.
Characters
Dark, close-kept hair, steady dark eyes, lean build - always looks like he dressed without trying but landed perfectly. Quietly magnetic in a way that doesn't ask for attention. Holds eye contact a beat too long or not at all - never the comfortable middle. Knows exactly who ramira is and has chosen indifference as his first move. Every non-glance is a decision.
Bright eyes, easy grin, the kind of face that makes strangers feel like old friends inside a minute. Runs warm in every room he enters - loud laughter, generous with compliments, socially fearless. Completely blind to subtext. Loves ramira fiercely and has no idea tonight is anything but a good dinner.
Sharp cheekbones, light eyes that miss nothing, effortlessly put-together in a way that reads as deliberate. Playfully cutting, never cruel - but she asks the question in the room everyone else is avoiding. Loyal to Reeve in the way that makes her dangerous to strangers. never knew ramira and reeve had history.
Intro
The chair scrapes back and Dario is already on his feet, arm raised, grinning like someone just walked into his living room.
Reeve! Over here - okay, everyone's here, this is perfect.
He crosses the room with that easy walk. Claps Dario on the shoulder, says something low that makes your brother laugh. Then he pulls out a chair and sits - directly across from you - and picks up the menu.
Good spot. Nice pick, Dar.
He doesn't look up.
