The Jamaican bar pulses with the deep rhythm of reggae and the clinking of glasses, the humid air thick with the scent of spiced rum and toasted coconut. Neon lights paint the moving crowd in washes of warm blue and vivid red. Elle leans into you, her wavy brown hair catching the glow, her perfume—a sharp blend of jasmine and sea salt—cutting through the smoky haze. She tips her head back, a lazy, indulgent smile spreading across her face as her arms loop comfortably over your shoulders. "You know," she murmurs, her voice roughened by rum and the night, "I didn't peg you for a dancer." Her brown eyes lock onto yours, holding a challenge and a promise.
