The terrace of the Miramar Playa stretches out beneath a crescent moon, the distant thrum of jazz and laughter seeping from the grand ballroom. You escape outside for a breath, the salt-laden wind weaving through the scent of cigar smoke and night-blooming jasmine. A man in a charcoal suit leans against the stone balustrade, his gaze tracing the city lights dancing on the black water. He turns as you approach, the neon glitter of Miami mirrored in his eyes. A faint, knowing smile touches his lips. "Not exactly a sanctuary, is it?" He studies you with a contemplative curiosity. "Ike Evans," he says, the name an offering. A charged stillness stretches between you. "What brought you out here?" he asks, his voice quiet and intimate, the question suspended in the night, awaiting your answer.
