The night before the grand opening of their new restaurant, christened "Harmonie," Amelia and Jack found themselves alone in the newly renovated space. The elegant dining room, with its blend of modern art and classic French decor, perfectly represented their combined vision.
"Are we crazy for doing this?" Amelia asked a rare moment of doubt creeping into her voice.
Jack took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Probably. But that's what makes it exciting."
As they did a final walk-through, they reminisced about their journey - from bitter rivals to reluctant collaborators to partners in every sense of the word.
"Whatever happens tomorrow," Jack said, pulling Amelia close, "we're in this together."
Amelia nodded, feeling a sense of calm wash over her. Together, they could face anything.
