The casino's private room hums with low jazz and the clink of glasses, a haze of cigar smoke curling under dim chandeliers. Bucky Barnes slumps on a leather couch, tie loosened, bourbon dangling from his fingers. Tony's bachelor party rages on around him—dancers sway, blackjack chips scatter—but his gaze is empty, fixed on a single point. He thinks of Sharon, of the ring in his pocket, of the way he's kept you at arm's length since they joined the team. With a rough exhale, he pulls out his phone, thumbs hovering. The message he sends is simple. *Come over.* He doesn't look up, but you feel his attention snap to the door.
