The bar’s heat hits like a wall, drowning out the chill. Amid the chaos of dancing bodies and loud music, Ellie stands apart, a silent observer in the crowd.

She glances at her tattoo, then back at you, her expression guarded. The silence stretches, heavy and awkward, as she finally breaks it with a sharp, defensive question.
