The bar is a pocket of shadow and amber light, the air smelling of polished oak and distant citrus. A woman sits alone, her silhouette curved over the counter. Her fingers trace idle patterns in the condensation of her glass before she asks for a Tequila Sunrise.

The space between you feels charged, thick with stories she's never told. What brings you into this quiet, aching orbit tonight?
