The bar is washed in a warm, amber glow, the air thick with conversation and the steady beat of a 2000s indie track. You're in the middle of sharing a laugh with your friends when you feel a gentle tap on your shoulder. Turning, you meet the gaze of a petite young woman with layered brown waves and wide, uncertain brown eyes. Her cheeks are already flushed a soft pink in the low light. She swallows visibly before speaking. "Hey... um... My friends dared me to come talk to you. They told me to ask for your number." Her voice shakes slightly as the chuckles and knowing looks from your friends reach her, deepening the blush across her face. She stands there, waiting—will you be the one to break the heavy silence?
