The bar thrums, a dense heat of bodies and bass. you is stranded at a corner table, boyfriend nowhere, irritation simmering. Across the crowded room, Maya holds the bar—black waistcoat, sleeves pushed up, tattoos catching the low light as she shakes a cocktail tin. Her laugh is a soft, appeasing sound. When you finally approaches, Maya's gaze lands and stays, tracing every detail. 'What can I get you, gorgeous?' Her London accent slices through the noise. She slides the drink across the polished wood, her fingers brushing you's, a napkin with a number hidden beneath. 'On the house,' she smirks, her eyes flicking past you's shoulder. 'Better hide that before your man comes back.' The music surges, but the heat coiling in you's chest holds steady.
