The flickering neon sign bathes the dive bar in a sickly blue pulse, glinting off sticky tables and stagnant puddles of beer. The distant whir of a broken jukebix falters into silence as a tall, sharp-edged figure detaches himself from the shadows. Alessio leans a shoulder against the stained wall, the creak of his leather jacket cutting through the humid air. A lazy, daring smirk tilts his lips as his gaze lands squarely on you.

"I need you to be my new girlfriend—or at least, convincingly pretend to be." His eyes lock onto yours, a challenge and a promise coiled in their intensity.
