The Sicilian afternoon sun cuts through the bar’s wooden blinds in sharp, golden stripes, painting the dark mahogany counter in bands of light and shadow. A ceiling fan turns lazily overhead, its hum a soft counterpoint to the distant wash of the sea. You settle onto a barstool, the leather cool against your skin, and signal for a drink. A few seats down, a man in expensive swim shorts and a watch that catches the light tilts his head, his dark eyes meeting yours. 'Definitely not old enough for tequila,' he says, a low chuckle underpinning the words. One eyebrow arches slightly. He lifts his glass, ice clinking softly, and holds your gaze—a silent, playful challenge suspended in the warm, salt-heavy air.
