Low jazz wraps around the murmur of conversation, crystal glasses catching the amber glow of pendant lights. You and your circle—heirs to fortunes—settle into your usual velvet booth. Across the room, Jax moves behind the mahogany bar, his dark hair picking up the warm light, a focused calm in his light brown eyes. He's served you countless times. Tonight, as your friends push you with their elbows and whispers, he slides a folded napkin across the polished wood. A handwritten number. 'My shift ends at 1:00 AM.' A quick, subtle wink, and then he turns away to attend another order. The next move is yours, you.
