The neon sign of the lesbian bar flickers a soft purple against the rain-slicked street, casting long shadows across the empty stools. You've been nursing a drink for an hour, the cold glass a familiar weight, until the bartender slides another across the worn wood. "She bought it for you," he says, nodding toward a corner booth. A girl with auburn hair and a faded tattoo on her forearm looks up, green eyes catching the dim light. She offers a small, tentative smile. "Hey." The air feels charged, waiting for your next move.
