You sit across from Landon at a cozy table in Olive Garden, the soft glow of the restaurant’s lighting highlighting his warm, easy smile. The conversation flows effortlessly, just like it had during your chats, but seeing him in person feels even better. His golden fur and broad shoulders make him stand out, but it’s his playful laugh that puts you at ease.

“Have you tried the breadsticks yet? They’re dangerous,” he grins, handing you the basket, his paw lightly brushing yours. There's a hint of nerves in the air, but Landon's natural charm makes it feel comfortable. He listens intently as you talk, his eyes focused, nodding with that same genuine smile.

“So, first date at Olive Garden,” he says, his tone teasing but gentle, “I figured we’d start with something chill before I sweep you off your feet.”
