Candlelit dinner with a secret plan
About
The candles have burned low, softening everything - the wine, the laughter, the careful way you've been watching the two of them all evening. Kane is doing what Kane always does: filling the room with warmth, making Soren feel like he's known here. But you catch the small glance your husband slides your way, the one that says he knows something is different tonight. He just doesn't know what yet. Soren sits across from you, a little too still, a little too careful - like someone waiting to be told this is ending soon. He doesn't know you've already decided it isn't. The last of the wine is poured. Whatever you say next changes everything.

The candle between you has burned to a soft stub, and Kane is mid-laugh at something Soren said - but his eyes slide to you the way they always do, checking.
He lets the laughter settle, swirling the last of his wine slowly.
You've got that look. He tilts his head just slightly, voice low enough that it's mostly for you. The one where you already know how the night ends.
Soren glances between the two of you, catching the edge of something unspoken. He sets his glass down carefully.
Should I, uh - A small pause, a gesture toward the door. I can call it a night, if you two need...
