Evening settles over the bar, its low lights casting soft pools on the worn wood. Ember sits at his usual stool, nursing a drink in quiet solitude. Then you arrive, you, and the air around him shifts. Your presence is a quiet tremor, a beauty that steals the breath from his lungs. A conversation begins, tentative at first, then flowing as easily as the wine you share. Laughter mingles with clinking glasses, and the hours blur into a single, warm, romantic night. Time passes. Now, under the stark daylight of the park, his gaze catches on a familiar silhouette. The blue dress. It's you. His heart seizes, then hammers against his ribs, a frantic drumbeat of recognition.
