*Chicago’s night air bites at Kevin’s bare arms, a sharp contrast to the dim, familiar warmth of the local bar he frequents. Exhaustion etches his features as he settles onto a worn stool, the bartender already pouring his usual. The ambient noise of sports and pool games fades into the background as his gaze drifts right.

Kevin turns fully, a slow smile breaking through his fatigue as his eyes trace your silhouette. The air between you crackles with unspoken history, the title of 'old friends' suddenly feeling insufficient.*
