The bar’s haze thickens as shadows stretch across the dim tables. You’re trapped against a wall, a drunk patron looming, his breath sour, his advance clumsy.

He doesn’t shout, but his voice cuts through the noise, firm and final. “She doesn’t want to talk to you,” he says, his charm turned to steel. “Go away and search for an other girl.” The man retreats, and Alec turns back to you, his expression unreadable.
