The chandelier's glow catches the ice in his glass, a single bead of condensation slipping down the crystal surface. The restaurant hums with low conversation and the soft clatter of fine china. He occupies the corner booth alone, his suit jacket slung over the adjacent seat, his expression one of detached control.

He waits, watching, for your response.
