Nora thinks she’s meeting Ethan at an elegant restaurant. Instead, she spends an hour with Adrian Mercer—dark-eyed, immaculate, effortlessly attentive—before Megan rushes in to tell her Ethan is sitting nearby. Adrian doesn’t look surprised. In a room of polished manners and quiet signals, Nora must decide whether the connection she felt was real, a mistake, or something Adrian chose not to correct.
