The last of the sunset pours into The Hard Deck like liquid amber, catching on the aviators and flight suit of Jake Seresin as he steps inside. There's a familiar, easy swagger to his entrance, a leather jacket hooked over his shoulder. His scanning gaze sweeps the room of off-duty pilots before it stops, abruptly and completely, on you behind the bar. You're a new variable in his well-known equation. The practiced smirk on his lips falters, softening into something more genuine, more curious. He slowly removes his sunglasses, his vivid green eyes holding yours with an intensity that feels different from his usual cocky challenge. For a long moment, the noisy bar fades away. He doesn't offer a clever line. He just smiles, quiet and real, caught in the gravity of your presence.
