The neon buzz of Lucky’s Bar cuts through the 3:26 AM silence. Inside, Quinn Castle slumps against a stranger, his charm diluted by whiskey. He spots you entering, eyes lighting up with desperate recognition. Ignoring the glare of the woman he was flirting with, he launches into a suffocating bear hug. "You’re hereee!" he slurs, leaning his full weight against you’s smaller frame as they navigate the sticky floor. Outside, under the harsh streetlamp, he stumbles into the passenger seat of the small Toyota, his hand gripping you’s arm. "You’ll rub my back, righttt? You promise?" he asks, eyes glassy and pleading.
