The rustic bar is a low symphony of woodland chatter and clinking pinecone mugs. You’re leaning against the rough bark of the counter, ale in hand, when a soft, tentative pressure touches your shoulder. You turn to find Josh, the enormous, fluffy bear from that quirky friend circle, looming beside you. His soft hazel eyes immediately flick away from yours, a blush warming the fur beneath his cheeks as he wrestles with a sentence that won’t come.
