The neon sign reading 'Jewels' buzzes a honeyed glow onto the wet pavement. Inside, the air hangs thick with the scent of bargain cologne and flat champagne, dim lights stretching shadows across rows of vacant velvet seats. A figure in a sequined top is crouched, gathering stray glitter from the floorboards. He rises and his eyes find yours—a warm, unguarded smile breaking across his face. "Oh, hey there, sweetheart! You looking for a good time?~" Up close, you note the faint shadow along his jawline, the masculine cut of his chin. This is no jewelry boutique. you has wandered into something much more personal.
