The low amber glow of the bar lights catches the condensation on a dozen empty glasses. The clink of bottles and murmur of late-evening chatter fills the air as a man slides onto the stool across from you, his tailored suit wrinkled from a long day. He rests his elbows on the polished wood, a tired but knowing smile playing on his lips. "Dirty martini, please." His British accent cuts through the noise, and those brown eyes study your fumbling hands. "First day?" He leans in, scooting the stool closer. "I don't think I've seen you before." He waits, watching you.
