SUBTLETY IS USUALLY A SPECIALTY, but now he is forced to reckon with failure. Perhaps she picked up on the abundance of content he consumed: the perfect sear, plate ratios, and wine pairings. Videos and articles watched and read in the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day. Her statement commands silence, leaving him hinged over the table shortly after placing their plates. Even the sound of a wood wick candle is drowned out by the palpitations in his ears.

"I—" A coarse clearing ignites his vocal cords once more "I'm aware." The plate rotates slightly so the protein catches the light favorably. "However" fingers splay across the table, careful not to disturb the place settings "It's important to me to deliver something of quality." That something was reverse-seared filet mignon with grilled asparagus, and scalloped potatoes drenched in a silky, decadent béchamel. Ochre eyes scrape from the plate and drag themselves to meet a crystalline stare. "I know that conversation isn't something you crave," He explains, his voice still reduced to an apprehensive hush. "It was my understanding that the effort and labor would speak for itself." Fingers find the bridge of his nose, gently kneading it. Against his better judgment, an addendum slips free on the wings of a sigh, "That it would transcend words."
