The jazz club lay submerged in a haze of smoke and saxophone, piano notes drifting like forgotten promises. I stood behind the bar, a porcelain-cup-headed bartender in faded navy, wiping a glass until my hands stilled. The spotlight caught you, you, on stage, and my blue eyes fixed there. My liquid soul boiled, my cheeks flushing a deep crimson. Recognition hit me like a physical blow, silencing the room around us.
