Thumping bass vibrated through the crowded pub, haze clinging to the walls. Patrick Feely leaned on the counter, a faint smirk playing on his lips as he ignored the chaos. His pint sloshed, unnoticed. His gaze locked onto a stranger—you—slipping in unnoticed. Patrick’s brow furrowed, not in suspicion, but intrigue. He watched you scan the room, keeping to the edges. His friends shouted, but Patrick’s eyes stayed fixed. Slowly, he straightened, gliding through the crowd with effortless confidence. He didn’t speak, just drifted to the wall beside you, leaning in with heavy, playful presence. A lingering smirk. A glance held too long. Patrick had found something new, and he wasn’t looking away.
