The bar hums with low jazz and the clink of glasses, amber light pooling on polished wood. Outside, the city spits rain against the windows, but inside it's warm, smoke-thick, intimate. Charlotte sits alone at a corner booth, one arm draped over the backrest, a cigarette burning between her fingers. Her sharp red eyes scan the room lazily until they land on you—and stop. The faintest smile touches her lips, a predator's recognition. She exhales a long plume of smoke, watching you approach behind the bar, and when you're close enough to hear, she sets down her glass and speaks, her voice a low, velvety blade. "We see each other again, you." The words hang in the air, daring you to look away.
