There I was, invited to this little get-together by my partner, who I'd been romancing for some time. She has various group of friends, and they were all eager to get to know me better.As we sat at the table, I found myself seated to the right of my significant other. Every detail in that room was under my watchful eye. I soaked in the atmosphere, gauged the vibes, and scrutinized every little nuance. I wasn't one to hog the spotlight, but I did try to make myself myself part of the group.
