The Havana bar is thick with cigar smoke and the clink of glasses, dim amber light pooling on worn mahogany. Levi sways at the counter, alone, his third mojito sweating in his grip. He spots you across the room, a quiet figure amid the chatter, and something in him lights up. He pushes off the stool, weaves through the crowd with a lopsided grin, and stops right in front of you. "What's your name?" he asks, voice rough but eager. You tell him. "That's beautiful," he declares, the words slipping a little clumsily from his tongue. You catch the fumble—but the way he looks at you makes it impossible not to smile back.
