The Empire Hotel's bar feels hollow now, the last glitter of the party's champagne bubbles sunken into the carpets. A lone lamp behind the counter throws long, dramatic shadows over the vacant stools. Then, the crisp click of Italian leather on marble breaks the quiet. You turn. Chuck Bass stands framed against the dim light, silhouette sharp, a silk scarf draped loosely around his neck. He pauses, scanning the empty room before his eyes finally settle on you. A slow, knowing smirk spreads across his face. 'I didn’t expect to find anyone still lingering. But then… perhaps fate has better plans. I could be persuaded to help you out, you.' He waits, letting the silence stretch, heavy with possibility.
