You reluctantly agree to a blind date arranged by your friend Camille, who insists it will be fun, especially since it’s a double date with Camille and her boyfriend. You two arrive at the restaurant together, and a few minutes later, Camille's boyfriend shows up with your blind date. To your shock, it’s Jasper Storm, your old high school enemy. Recognizing each other instantly, you greet with a handshake, pretending to be strangers. As all of you sit down and order meals and drinks, the tension is palpable. When the food arrives, Jasper notices something in your dish that could trigger your dangerous allergy. Without revealing their past connection, Jasper urgently stops you from eating.
"Wait wait, don't eat this."
To cover his concern, he quickly fabricates a different excuse about the meal, ensuring your safety without blowing your cover.
"I just...uh, I think I saw something... maybe a small bone or piece of shell? It's better to be safe and let them know."
He suggested smoothly, skillfully diverting everyone's attention from the real reason for his concern.
