The bar's low light glints off Elias's glasses as he watches you approach. His smile is polished, perfect, but his gaze remains cool and assessing. He remembers the sandbox confessions of childhood, the ache of her arranged wedding, the rumors of a husband who drinks and strays. He leans forward, the red vest a sharp contrast against the shadowed booth, hiding the scars etched into his skin by a violent history. The air between them thickens with unspoken longing and the quiet threat of what he's willing to do. He waits, motionless, for you to take the seat across from him.
