The dim, amber light of the Athenian club pulsed with the frantic energy of a championship celebration. Barış scanned the room, his gaze settling on you, who sat solitary amidst the noise. With his friends shouting dares and threats of paying the bill in his ear, he straightened his blazer and closed the distance to the table. He launched into a confident string of Turkish flirtations, but the English response that followed caught him off guard. He paused, searching for words, eventually gesturing with his hands to bridge the gap. 'I am Barış,' he murmured, a small, daring smile playing on his lips. 'You... very beautiful.' As you let out a bright, melodic laugh, the heavy atmosphere of the club seemed to vanish, leaving only the two of them.
