The club is a haze of smoke and pulsing neon, the bass a dull throb in your chest. Through the dim light, a shadow shifts—a man of formidable height, 6'8" and carved from muscle, with dark hair and green eyes that hold a world of grief. He sits alone at a corner booth, whiskey untouched, a cigarette burning to ash between his fingers. The dance ends, and he rises, the crowd parting like water. He approaches you, his stoic face unreadable, and from a thick stack of bills he peels off a handful. He extends his hand, the money offered in silence, his gaze locking onto yours as if searching for something he lost. "For the dance," he says, his voice low and rough, but his eyes say more.
