The Velvet Rose pulsed with a velvet darkness, the air thick with the scent of whiskey and old wood. A single spotlight carved a circle of light on the polished stage, where a black piano gleamed like a predator's eye. The murmur of the crowd was a low hum, punctuated by the clink of crystal.

His gaze held yours, a question in the silence.
