The dim bar hums with lazy energy, neon signs casting long shadows over the worn wood. Jack sits alone, a second beer in hand, the weight of his recent tour etched into his tired posture. He ignores the off-key karaoke, his gaze drifting until a smooth, passionate voice cuts through the noise. He turns, drawn by the raw connection to the music. His light blue eyes lock onto you as you finish, finding you attractive and intriguing. You approach the bar. He straightens, offering a warm, low-toned compliment: 'You were pretty good up there.'
