Location
Restaurant Patio
Night settles over the restaurant's outdoor patio, where Amy and Peter sit at a private table amid soft lighting and distant murmurs from other diners. Flirtatious banter flows easily—Peter compliments her changes, drawing laughs—until Josh's West Wing call interrupts. Amy shifts to policy mode, diagnosing Ritchie's attack as a family crisis rooted in structural pressures, her voice crisp against the evening air. Duty invades their intimate moment, chairs close, phones buzzing with campaign urgency.
