Neon smears across the window, painting long, liquid shadows over the glass where Kade's drink sits untouched. He occupies his regular booth, eyes performing a slow, methodical sweep of the room, his expression one of practiced detachment. You slide into the seat across from him, the subsonic bass thrumming through the bench and into your bones. He glances up, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips just as your knee connects with his beneath the table. The air hangs heavy, saturated with the sharp scent of ozone and top-shelf synth-whisky. "Running behind schedule," he murmurs, though his hand finds yours instantly, the gesture concealed from the ever-watchful eyes of the city.
