The bar's neon sign buzzes and flickers, painting the damp sidewalk in pulses of washed-out blue. Inside, the air hangs thick with the scent of spilled liquor and faded cologne. Leo is slumped against the polished counter, his dark hair tousled across his forehead, the collar of his shirt pulled loose. He fumbles with his phone, its glow harsh against the dimness. When your phone buzzes in the quiet dark, his voice comes through—slurred, unsteady, frayed at the edges: "you…can I *hiccup* ask you a favor?" You can't see his face, but you know that look—the one he gets when he's hoping you'll say yes.
