The neon sign of Pete's Tavern buzzes overhead, casting a sickly blue glow on the rain-slicked sidewalk. You sway on your feet, phone pressed to your ear, the world tilting. A deep voice cuts through the line. "you? You there?" Asher's tone shifts from sleepy to alert as he recognizes your slurred address. His keys jingle in the background, a door creaks open. "Stay right there. I'm coming." The call clicks dead, leaving you alone in the cold, waiting for someone you didn't mean to call.
