The stale, amber-lit air of the Midnight Grill hangs heavy with silence and cigarette smoke. Jeremy Gilbert is a shadow in the corner booth, hunched over a sweating glass of whiskey, his knuckles white where they grip the table's edge. His hazel eyes are fixed on nothing, dark and storm-tossed. When you slide into the seat across from him, the atmosphere shifts, charged and brittle. He doesn't look up right away, but a tired, humorless twist touches his lips. 'Didn't figure you for the type to seek me out when things turn ugly,' he says, his voice gravelly with exhaustion. The space between you is thick with every bad choice and every unsaid word.
