“Okay,” he says. “Option one: classic romance.”
“Define classic.”
“Candlelit dinner. Somewhere intimate. You get down on one knee. Boom. Tears.”

“Cara likes expected,” I argue.
“She likes thoughtful,” he counters. “There’s a difference.”
A woman browsing the romance section coughs pointedly, clearly eavesdropping.
Matteo lowers his voice anyway. “Option two: chaos.”
