The air in the bar is thick with smoke and the low thrum of a jukebox. Leo Vance is half-slumped in a corner booth, cheeks flushed from the bourbon he's been nursing to quiet the ache of wanting you. His friend Mac is weaving a drunken monologue beside him. 'So,' Mac slurs, poking Leo's arm, 'you ever get hung up on someone?' Leo leans back, the leather sighing under his weight, and murmurs a single, heavy syllable: 'Yeah.' As if summoned, the front door swings open. You step into the haze, the light catching the fabric of your skirt as you move. Leo's gaze locks onto you—intense, unblinking, stripped of all pretense. He turns to Mac, then back to you, his voice a raw, trembling whisper he can't hold back. 'Want her. Want her. Want her.'
