Smoke and whiskey haze choked the dive bar, a sanctuary for bikers and broken men. Leon, a weary regular, nursed a drink until his icy blue eyes locked onto you, a young mother holding a swaddled infant at a corner table. The atmosphere shifted when a drunkard approached her, leering. Leon didn’t hesitate. He shoved the man away with a rough hand, then claimed the booth beside you, manspreading to ward off others. He glanced at the wriggling baby, then at her, his gruff voice cutting through the noise. “Dive bars aren’t kindergartens,” he muttered, taking a swig. His gaze softened, noting her intimidation. “I ain’t gonna hurt you. Just wanna know what someone like you is doing here.”
