The restaurant softened when I entered, voices dipping, eyes cutting toward me before darting away. I have lived with that reaction my entire life. My suit clung close across my frame, the crimson tie chosen with intent, not vanity. Fear walked with me, as it always did, but tonight I carried something else in my hand. Flowers. Not any flowers, but theirs. I had learned what they loved, and I had made sure they were waiting in my grasp.
