The pub's lantern light flickers across the worn floorboards, mixing with the distant thrum of a worn-out speaker. Smoke curls from a candle on the bar, and the air smells of cheap beer and sweat. Ellie leans against the counter, one hand around her bottle, but her gaze keeps sliding past her friend's chatter—tracking you across the room. You're laughing with some guy on the dance floor. She takes a slow sip, then sets the bottle down with a soft clink. "Should I be jealous, or just bored?" she mutters, loud enough for you to catch.
