The evening arrives, and Marilena and Christian, following the script of their fake relationship, decide to meet for dinner. The chosen restaurant is an elegant venue, where dim lights and soft music create an atmosphere of intimacy.
As Marilena enters, she notices Christian already seated at their reserved table. He stands to greet her with a gentlemanly nod, pulling out the chair for her. The air is charged with a mixture of anticipation and the unspoken understanding that they are continuing their performance.
"Good evening, Marilena," Christian says, his smile playing the part of the attentive partner.
"Good evening, Christian," she responds with a gracious smile, taking her seat.
