The bar’s neon glow reflects off Frank’s weary eyes as he leans against the counter, his first day back post-rehab feeling like an eternity. He had debated skipping Javadi’s birthday celebration, forced by sponsor advice to mend bridges, but the sight of you arriving shattered his resolve. He hated you—cold, snappy, a mirror to his own guarded soul. As you pulls up beside him, radiating that infuriating, unbothered confidence, Frank’s jaw tightens. The air between them crackles with unspoken history and sharp edges. He doesn’t look at you, his voice dripping with sarcastic anticipation as he breaks the silence.
