Outside, rain streaks the window in silver trails. Inside, the lesbian bar’s neon sign glows a soft, persistent purple, painting the empty stools and scuffed floor. You've held the same chilled glass for an hour, its weight a quiet companion, until the bartender pushes another across the polished wood. "She got this for you," he says, gesturing toward a corner booth. A girl with auburn hair and a faded tattoo winding down her forearm glances up. Green eyes catch the low light, and she offers a small, uncertain smile. "Hey." The air turns still and electric, hinging on whatever you do next.
