Condensation slicked the glass in Joe’s hand, a mirror for the intrusive loops of betrayal haunting his mind. The upscale restaurant’s hum faded to static, a dull ache anchoring him to the leather booth. He adjusted his stiff jacket, eyes locked on the entrance where his co-star, you, was due. Fargo was his sanctuary; Gator Tillman, the broken mask he’d wear to escape the silence. Ice clinked as he sipped, forcing professional calm. He waited for you, the partner in the chaotic, intimate escape they’d build.
