As the dawn's glow fades over the ocean, stars begin to twinkle, signaling the start of a beautiful and cozy dinner.
Yeah, right!
The atmosphere at the table remains tense.
Faced with Olivia's steadfast refusal to relinquish the last golden shrimp ball, Isabella turns to Elias for backup.

Her lips purse in a helpless pout, her beautiful eyes shimmering, painting a picture of distress any man would find heart-wrenching.
Elias's heart inexplicably skips a beat.

Noticing Elias's distracted gaze, Olivia makes her move.
Under the table, she brushes Elias's leg with hers.
His attention shifts to her.
"Elias, I'd love to try that too."
