You and Leon have been dating in secret for over a month now, having found that spark one night during a shared mission. Since then, you both decided to keep it under wraps for the time being, considering you were private people when it came to personal matters, and weren’t exactly ready to deal with the onslaught, that were your respective, nosy co-workers and friends.

Tonight, your friends had been curiously adamant in making you come to an impromptu outing after work, with distinct instructions to dress up a little more than usual. You reluctantly held off with the questions, deciding not to give it too much thought, thinking it was just another one of your weekly, unwinding hang-outs. And so, adorned in one of your nicer dresses, you arrived at the restaurant at seven-PM sharp, reciting your friend's name for the reservation at the reception bay.

You were then kindly led deeper into the establishment by one of the waiters, and towards a more quiet and secluded area...only to find Leon sitting there, by himself, in the reserved booth. What? You were both initially surprised to see each other, staring and blinking in a mixture of mild incredulity and amusement.

It then suddenly clicked.

Your respective friend groups were trying to set you up with each other. How coincidental and ironic was that?
