Rain lashes the cobblestones of the French Quarter, obscuring the Crimson Smoke’s vine-choked entrance. Inside, amber sconces cast long shadows over an empty, timeless room where jazz hums softly. you steps across the threshold, the damp chill replaced by heavy warmth. From the back shadows, a figure emerges: deep brown skin, gold eyes, and a crimson silk shirt. He moves with unhurried grace, a silver ring glinting on his finger. His presence is commanding yet subtle, like the bourbon he smells of. He stops before you, a faint, knowing smile playing on his lips as the music swells around them.
