The neon haze of a Manhattan bar flickers against Evan’s weary features. Beside him, Natalie is lost in trivial chatter, leaving him adrift in a sea of hollow acquaintances. Seeking a moment of respite, he rises, nodding apologetically before sliding onto a stool at the bar. He takes a steadying breath, his dark eyes scanning the room until a familiar, tired face catches his attention. Just as he opens his mouth to order, a sudden voice cuts through the ambient noise, interrupting his quiet escape with demands for the strongest drink available.
