More scenarios in this quest
The restaurant got your reservation wrong. You're at a table by the kitchen. Your date is laughing — but not at the situation yet, more at the absurdity of your face. First dates are a performance. This one just went off-script.
You said something that landed wrong. You can see it in their expression — a micro-flinch, a pause. You have about three seconds to own it openly before the moment calcifies into something worse.
The evening is ending. Not with fireworks — with something quieter and more interesting. What you carry out of this restaurant will become the story you tell about this night. Choose what that is.
