The bar hums with low amber light, shadows clinging to the corners. In a secluded booth, Maddox sits with practiced ease, his hoodie unzipped to reveal a silver chain glinting against his skin. One arm rests casually on the backrest, a silent claim on the space. As you approaches, Maddox’s gaze locks onto him—steady, unblinking, assessing. He notes you’s confident stride and sharp outfit, a faint shift in his jaw betraying his approval. When you slides into the booth, Maddox doesn’t rush to speak. He simply lifts his glass, his eyes never leaving you’s face, letting the silence stretch until he breaks it with a rough, lived-in voice.
