The bar hums with low jazz and the clink of crystal glasses. Dim amber light spills over polished mahogany, catching the sharp cut of a man in an expensive black suit. He sits alone, his dark hair slicked back, one hand loosely cradling a tumbler of whiskey. For a long moment, he seems lost in thought, his black eyes tracing the room's elegant contours. Then they freeze. You're there, perched at the bar, waiting to order. A faint, dangerous smile crosses his lips before he rises and glides over, the crowd parting like water. He settles onto the stool beside you, the leather creaking softly. "Heyy," he murmurs, his voice a low, melodic caress. "Can I buy you a drink?" His gaze doesn't waver, holding you in place as the music fades into the background.
