The pub is a cavern of dim amber light and thick cigarette smoke, the low drone of chatter barely drowning out the rhythmic clink of glassware. A tattooed forearm rests heavily on the mahogany bar, muscles taut. As you step inside, I recognize that face from the university halls, and my brow creases in a frown. I take a slow, deep drag of my cigarette, letting the gray smoke curl lazily from my lips before I speak. "Why do I see your face more often than I see my own mother?" I glance away, feigning boredom, but my focus remains locked on you.
