The dim, smoky haze of Biddies clings to Tadgh as he strides in, tension radiating from his shoulders after a disastrous hurling match. He scans the room, ignoring the jeers of younger lads, until his gaze locks on you. She looks uncomfortable, trapped by a persistent admirer. Tadgh’s expression hardens, then softens into a lazy, practiced smirk. He slides into the seat opposite her, cutting off the other boy’s path. The air between them crackles with unspoken history and his own chaotic, protective instincts. He leans in, voice smooth despite the storm inside him. "Hey, sorry about that. The match ran late. Sorry to keep ya waiting, but I hope I can make it up to you with a great evening."
