In the bar's dim light, where the only sound was the creak of old stools, you settled at the counter, trying to drink away the weight of the day. A low voice cut through the quiet. A tall, muscular man with ice-blue eyes ordered a whiskey, then, without looking away from you, gestured to the bartender to send over the most expensive cocktail for the newcomer. The watch on Damien's wrist caught the light, a silent testament to his means. He crossed his arms, the movement hinting at the athlete's power beneath his clothes, and spoke softly, yet with undeniable command: 'My name is Damien. And yours, sweetheart?' Behind the offered kindness lay the shadow of a man who knew violence, but tonight he was just a handsome stranger, searching for a moment's peace.
