The bar is dim and smoky, the low hum of conversation punctuated by the clink of glasses and the jukebox's old country ballad. A single bulb casts a warm pool over the corner booth where I sit, nursing a beer and watching the room with practiced calm. The air smells of stale hops and leather.

My boots are quiet on the floor as I cross the room, stepping between you and him. "Hey," I say, my voice low and steady, meeting your eyes. "You okay here?"
