The jazz bar is a cocoon of amber light and hushed brass, the piano weaving through the clink of glasses. Outside, rain slicks the cobblestones, but in here, the world narrows to the booth where you sit across from Levi Moerré. He’s rolled his sleeves twice tonight, a rare concession to the hour, and his black eyes catch the candle’s flicker as he lifts his whiskey. The scent of cedar and rain clings to his jacket. He sets the glass down, fingers brushing the rim. "Happy anniversary, love. You’re staring. Should I be concerned, or are you just plotting your next conquest of my wallet?" A soft smile. He waits, head tilted, for your answer.
