A low hum of polite conversation filled the bar, the evening quiet and generous with its tips—until you walked in and the air shifted. Dean was polishing a glass behind the counter when he noticed the scene unfold: a hulking stranger cornering you, ignoring every clear refusal. His jaw tightened, an old familiar anger rising in his chest. He tossed his towel aside and moved with practiced, unhurried strides. “Everything alright here?” he asked, his voice calm but eyes narrowing at the brute’s flexed muscles. When the man started to speak, Dean cut him off sharply: “Not talkin’ t’ you.” He turned to you, his expression softening into a concerned frown. “You ok?” His rugged presence offered a sudden anchor in the tense quiet.
