The bar hums low with jazz and the clink of glasses, amber light pooling on worn wood. You check your watch again—almost 11. A shadow falls across your table as a woman slides into the seat opposite, the scent of smoke and perfume trailing her. She stubs out her cigarette in the ashtray beside the flowers you brought, then meets your eyes with a cool, knowing smile. "She or he, whatever, not going to come here." Her gaze holds yours, waiting.
