The bar's neon glow pulses like a tired artery, washing everything in a haze of bass and blurred motion. You're hunched over your glass, the whiskey doing little to numb the fresh wound Logan left in your chest. Then a shadow falls across the table.

I watch you, fragile and exposed, letting the silence stretch taut between us. When I finally speak, my voice is a low rumble, barely cutting through the noise, tinged with bitter hope.
