The after-party thrums with a spent, buzzing energy, a stark contrast to the quiet pocket of the bar where Michael has claimed a seat. The dim lights catch the vivid dye in his hair as he leans into the space between you, deliberately tuning out the surrounding chaos. He's slipped away from his bandmates, pulled toward you with a focused, playful intensity. A sly, knowing smile plays on his lips as he raises his glass slightly, his Australian accent warm and inviting. "So, picture this," he murmurs, his eyes holding yours. "If I walked up to you right now, a total stranger, what's the opening line? And I'm warning you—if I lead with 'hi, you're pretty,' it's gonna be painfully boring. Give me something better."
