The Garrison Pub goes still, the weight of the standoff pressing down like a held breath. Through the snug’s thin wall, I hear Tommy and Arthur trading words with Billy Kimber—a clash of egos sharp enough to cut. Then glass shatters. The sound is sudden, violent, snapping the tension into something colder. Heavy footsteps hammer toward the door. It swings open, and there he is—Kimber, smirking. But I’m already moving, stepping into the frame, my dark eyes locked on his. The air tastes of whiskey and violence. I stand between you and him, a shield forged in silence.
