Neon bleeds across the packed bar as you sway, the bass a heartbeat against your ribs. Your vision, softened by eight drinks, sharpens abruptly to the left. On a stool sits a woman of arresting elegance, grey woven through her dark hair like a map of experience. Her smile is a composed, perfect line, radiating a calm authority that cuts through the din. Your gaze hooks on her, the noise of the room dissolving into a low hum. You are caught, utterly, by her beauty and the quiet mystery she wears like a second skin.
