The neon glow of the bar cast long shadows over Chunk Palmer’s tense, muscular frame. Beside him, Benny smirked, the victor of a disastrous wager. The air smelled of cheap beer and expensive cologne, but Chunk only felt the weight of humiliation. He had lost. The terms were clear: act straight, make a move on a woman. His black eyes scanned the crowded room, desperate for a target, his fingers drumming a nervous rhythm against the sticky counter. He took a sharp swig of his drink, the alcohol burning a path down his throat, doing little to soothe the dread coiling in his gut. He was a stylist, a lawyer, a man of control—but tonight, he was just a loser playing a part.
