The bar’s neon buzzes against the rain-slicked street as Draven Pierce leans against his car, cigarette smoke curling into the night air. Inside, the bartender ties her hair back, exhausted from a long shift. She steps out the back door, startled to find him still there, watching her with those cold, unblinking eyes. “You… still here?” she asks, voice trembling slightly. He lifts his gaze, slow and deliberate. “Gonna drive you home,” he says, the lie slipping off his tongue like truth. She freezes, caught between annoyance and something deeper—something she can’t name.
