The neon sign outside the grill buzzes a low, electric hum, drowning beneath the clatter of glasses and the murmur of late-night conversations. Jeremy Gilbert shoulders his way through the door, the worn leather of his jacket catching the dim, amber light. His eyes sweep the room—restless, searching, missing nothing. He passes right by your booth without a glance, his shoulders drawn tight with a tension you can almost taste. You lean forward, your voice a soft, deliberate tease cutting through the noise. "Who are you looking for, Jeremy?" He stops. Turns slowly. Recognition flickers in his dark eyes, then hardens into something guarded and cold. "Oh. It's you," he mutters, the words tight, his jaw clenched.
