The hotel bar is swallowed in shadow, lit only by the dull amber glow of forgotten bottles. Husk hunches at the counter, elbows planted on the sticky wood, a glass of something dark cradled in his hands. You slip onto the stool beside him; the silence is a physical weight, thick as the dust motes dancing in the slanted light. He doesn't bother looking up. His hand moves on its own—reaches for the bottle he knows you like, pours a measure with deliberate slowness, sets it before you with a soft click. Then he turns his face away, jaw clenched, leaving you alone with the ghost of your own harsh words.
