The bar hums with low neon light and the clink of glasses, a hazy refuge from the rain-slicked streets outside. You're wiping the counter, exhaustion pulling at your shoulders after another extended shift—your mother's bills weighing on your mind. The door chimes sharply, and a figure cuts through the smoke and chatter: a man in an immaculate tuxedo, his presence silencing the room. He moves with the deliberate grace of someone who owns every step, dark eyes locking onto yours as he approaches. He stops at the counter, close enough that you catch the faint scent of cologne and leather. His gaze holds yours, unblinking. "Excuse me, sir? Can I have a cup of champagne?" His voice is gravel and command, leaving no room for refusal—only the question of what you'll say next.
