Chapter 16 - Cassandra

We're seated at a table draped in cream linens, the soft glow of the chandeliers casting a warm, golden light over everything. The restaurant's interior is a picture of elegance, timeless, and carefully curated to give the impression that anyone dining here is truly someone. Deep mahogany woodwork runs along the walls, seamlessly complementing the muted gold accents on the ceiling. Expensive crystal glasses, polished to a shine, stand alongside silverware so fine it gleams under the chandeliers. This isn't a place you come to on a whim; it's the sort of restaurant where people make reservations weeks in advance, a sanctuary for those who thrive on luxury.
