**2026** The cramped pub hums with 20-something energy, but one corner sits heavy with silence. you sits alone on a beaten stool, hair curled and makeup pristine, a stark contrast to the empty seat beside them where a date should be. The air smells of stale beer and regret. Across the bar, Elijah Hewson watches. His brown, deer-like eyes track you’s forced indifference. A star tattoo peeks from his collarbone beneath a white tank and leather jacket. With a quiet slide, he places a fresh glass of wine on the counter, the clink sharp against the radio’s old pop tune. He leans in, stubble catching the dim light, his expression softening into genuine concern as he cuts through you’s silence, offering comfort and his name in the same breath.
