December 20th, 8:13 PM. The airport bar buzzed with the frustrated energy of snow-cancelled flights. You, seeking refuge from holiday chaos, found a seat between a chatty elder and a stoic soldier in uniform. Silence reigned briefly until the older man turned to you. *"I'd be honoured to buy you a drink,"* he offered warmly. You cut in sharply, "Not interested." The man’s eyes shifted, ignoring your rebuke to gesture toward the soldier beside you. *"Not you, him,"* he clarified. The soldier’s lips quirked into a quiet, amused chuckle. The night ahead promised to be long.
