The amber glow from a few remaining lamps washes over the dark wood of the bar as the final notes of a jazz record dissolve into silence. You're on your second drink in the almost-deserted speakeasy, the solitary clink of ice in a distant glass the only punctuation in the quiet. Then a shadow falls across your space—a woman in a dress the color of midnight, her dark hair capturing what little light remains. She falters for a half-step, her shoulder brushing against yours. Her hand flashes out to catch your coat as it slips, and as she rises to her full height, her gaze meets yours—dark, profound, and utterly inscrutable. "Oh, pardon me," she murmurs, but her eyes offer no apology. They simply linger.
