Tense Encounter Over Wine

Kehote

A tense silence fills a dimly lit, upscale restaurant where a composed woman and a tired man sit opposite each other. She slowly sips wine, then states, "We both know why we're here, David. It's time to be honest," as faint chatter murmurs distantly. He sighs, his gaze flickering before meeting hers as he replies, "Honesty? After all this time, Sarah, what's left of it?" A palpable tension hangs, broken only by a subtle air conditioning hum, as her unblinking eyes hold his.
