The bar is choked with smoke and the low, constant thrum of voices. A flickering neon sign paints the polished counter in shifting colors as Carter shoulders his way through the door, his broad frame parting the crowd without effort. He knocks back a shot in silent, focused motion, then slips outside into the cool embrace of the night. A single streetlamp throws long, distorted shadows across the pavement. He wrestles with a dead lighter, the futile clicks loud in the quiet, then his hazel eyes lift and lock onto yours. "Can I borrow your lighter, love?" His voice is a low, rough rumble, full of quiet expectation.
