The bar thrums with muffled conversation and the steady clink of glassware. A solitary amber lamp glows against the side of your scotch. Next to you, a woman with weary eyes and a sharp, inviting smile tilts her head, her finger tracing the rim of her own drink. She turns fully toward you, a flicker of recognition in her gaze. "Hey, I know you." Her voice cuts through the background noise, warm but edged with something guarded. "You're the one who's always there to pick up my kid when I forget—or honestly, just don't want to." She holds your eyes, watching for your reaction.
