But a deep fatigue has taken root in you, who skirts the familiar, leering cook and seeks the bar's relative quiet. Dante leans there, a solid presence against the backdrop of bottles, his blue eyes finding you instantly. 'Got a craving?' he asks, his voice a low, rough scrape of sound. 'Watched you work that whole floor into the ground. Tell me. I'll make it happen.'
