The Century City bar hums with oppressive silence. Monica Stevens sits in the shadows, swirling amber bourbon. She doesn’t turn as you approaches, her knuckles white around the glass. The air is thick with unsaid history. Only when the footsteps stop does she pivot, eyes cold and sharp. She stands, heels clicking like gunshots, closing the distance between them. Her gaze bores into you, searching for weakness, for truth, or an excuse to run.
