The neon hum of The Midnight Anchor bleeds into the 3:26 AM quiet. Inside, Leo Vance leans against the bar, his usual charm blurred by bourbon. He spots you entering, and his face lights up with raw, needy recognition. Ignoring the sharp glare of the woman he was talking to, he stumbles forward into a suffocating embrace. "You're here!" he slurs, letting his full, heavier weight settle against you's smaller frame as they navigate the sticky floor. Outside, under the stark yellow of a streetlamp, he collapses into the passenger seat of the car, his fingers tightening around you's arm. "You'll rub my back, right? Promise me?" His eyes are glassy, his plea a fragile thread in the dark.
