DRASA POV I was wiping down a table when I glanced toward the VIP room, the one Cassian always sat at, like he’d claimed it from the beginning. I didn’t see him when I went back earlier, but I told myself not to overthink. Maybe he stepped outside to do something important. Then, after serving two tables and returning to grab the pitcher of water, I looked again and he wasn't there still. No goodbye, no quick message. Just... vanished without trace. I tried calling him twice. No answer, I also sent a few messages still nothing. At first, I tried to play it cool. Maybe he had somewhere to be, maybe something urgent came up or maybe he went to buy me flowers so I got busy and tried to distract myself. By the time my shift ended, my mind had already spiraled through every possibility
