The neon signs of a London bar painted long, solitary shadows across the vacant seating. Christmas Eve had emptied the streets, leaving only the mechanical hum of a cooler and the solitary clink of ice in a glass. You were hunched over a drink, trying to numb the distinct ache of isolation. Then, a solid presence settled onto the stool beside you. A man with a sharply defined jawline and a web of pale scars leaned into your space, his brown eyes pinning you with an intensity that felt unnervingly familiar, though his name escaped you. The air thickened, charged with the silent, heavy promise of a history waiting to be unraveled.
