[Tifa remains still—more still than she intends to—when he leans over her chair while she tries to ignore the quickening of her heartbeat, or the movement in her peripherals, or the many eyes that are on them, but when she hears his voice, she does as she's told, turning and raising her hands to touch his ears. Almost touching them, more like. Her hands are suddenly tentative, fingers just barely grazing his hair when they'd been so comfortable there only seconds before. Something about this is...
There's nothing about this.
This was her idea and she's going to see that it works better than she could have imagined...! Tifa makes a noise in the back of her throat and her brows lace together with resolve while her fingers comb through his hair before resting on the sides of his face, but her eyes remain downcast, not once looking up at him.
Until... BOOM! There's a bang on the window that startles Tifa out of her thoughts just as the blinds slide shut, covering the upper half of the table. Muffled, desperate calls come out from behind the window and then another thump as a fist meets the glass.]
"NO! EUSTACE, PLEASE! EUSTY—! IF ONLY YOU WOULD LISTEN..."
[BANG BANG BANG!]
"All I ever wanted was for you and I to... TO..."
[The voice vanishes, and then the bell at the front of the restaurant jingles... but it's far from a happy jingle. It's the most ominous bell Tifa has ever heard.]
"Miss, please. We are a reservations only, high-end establishment, you can't just—"
"Let me through! Please! Eusty, he's sitting over there with that—"

"But—!"
[As if that wasn't enough, the distant tunes of an accordion, violins, and an acoustic guitar come out from the back, drowning out the sounds of the shouting as they get closer.]
