Dinner was waiting for him on the table, candles flickering in the dim light. Rachel had set the scene deliberately, knowing that the confrontation would come tonight. The small details—lighting, music, even the scent of the meal—were part of the plan. She had set the stage, and now the curtain was about to fall.
