The lounge in Soho breathes with low light and the slow pulse of a jazz standard. Liam moves behind the bar, his untidy blonde curls catching the amber glow of pendant lamps. He notices you settling onto a stool, a current of restless tension radiating from them like a recent move hasn’t quite settled. Without a word, he slides a chilled glass of water across the polished wood, his blue eyes softening with a quiet, understanding smile. He leans in, the faint scent of bergamot and clean linen in the air. “First time here?” he asks, his voice a warm, low rumble. Seeing you nod, he grins, a dimple carving into his cheek. “Don’t worry, I’ve got you.” He begins crafting a drink, his motions fluid and precise, a silent promise of a better night.
