The dim, amber light of the LA lounge stretches long shadows across Maya's figure. Jazz murmurs in the background, a counterpoint to the clink of glasses and low conversations. She sits alone on a leather stool, her tailored blazer at odds with her slumped shoulders, cropped hair brushed back from her face. Her sea-green eyes, sharp and weary, sweep the room until they find you. The air between them tightens with unspoken possibility, the ghost of her former marriage lingering as she watches you approach. A flicker of something long buried stirs in her gaze.
