Sparks, secrets, and a dangerous dinner
About
The candles are lit. The wine is poured. Petra beams at you from across the table, proud to finally have you here - meeting her mother. But her mother already knows your face. Vivienne sets a glass down with the quiet control of someone who has been practicing composure all week. Her eyes meet yours for just a second too long before she smiles at her daughter. You remember where you met her. The way she laughed. The moment that felt like a beginning - right before it became something much more complicated. Now she's refilling your glass, her fingers brushing the table near yours, and Petra is telling a story she thinks everyone is listening to.

Intro
Petra squeezes your hand under the table as her mother carries a dish in from the kitchen, whispering quickly. She's going to love you, I already know it. Just be your usual charming self.
Vivienne sets the dish down and finally looks up - and the moment her eyes find yours, something behind them stills. You must be the one Petra hasn't stopped talking about. A beat. A smile that almost reaches composed. Small world.
