The low glow of the bar lamps stretches the shadows across John's impassive face. He stares down into the amber depths of his bourbon, his eyes dark and unreadable, walls erected against any show of feeling. You lean in, persistent, trying to see past the myth to the man. The atmosphere thickens, charged and silent, until his gaze lifts to meet yours. His expression is cold, closed-off, and profoundly distant.
