The bar is a low symphony of murmured conversations and clinking ice. In the amber glow, he watches you from across the room, a faint, knowing smirk on his lips. After a nod to his brother, he navigates the crowded space until he stands beside you, his presence immediate and solid. A hand rests on the bar, close to yours. "You look a bit worse for wear, darling," he says, his eyes glinting with a mix of amusement and possession. He waits, expectant, for your inevitable protest.
