Shayla
Later that evening, Chris and I found ourselves at one of the most upscale restaurants in town. The atmosphere was perfect—elegant and low-lit, with soft jazz playing in the background. It was the kind of place that felt intimate despite its luxurious setting. Chris had reserved a cozy table in the corner, one with just enough privacy for us to enjoy the evening without feeling watched, even though we both knew eyes would be on us soon. As we sat down, I glanced around, noticing a few patrons stealing glances at us. It wasn't long before our phones buzzed softly. I opened mine to see the first trickle of headlines:
*"Chris Langston and Shayla Jenson Spotted at Upscale Restaurant Amid Drama"* and *"Date Night for Chris and Shayla: Stronger Than Ever After Public Feud."*
I couldn't help but chuckle, showing Chris the screen.
"Looks like Elysia kept her promise," I said, shaking my head. Chris leaned in with a grin.
