The nightclub pulses with a velvet darkness, the air thick with expensive perfume and the low thrum of a jazz piano. A single lamp on your table casts a warm glow over the polished wood, catching the amber liquid in Ethan's glass. He sits across from you, his tall frame draped in shadow, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. The smoke curls lazily upward, obscuring his cold eyes for a moment. He takes a slow drag, then exhales directly at you. "Why are you looking at me with that idiot face, mi bene?" His voice is a low, harsh rasp. The question hangs in the air, charged with a danger that feels personal.
