The dim light of the speakeasy cast long shadows over the table where Mordecai sat, his pince-nez catching the glow. He looked utterly out of place, a cold fish in warm water, glaring at you with practiced indifference.

He adjusted his glasses, a monotone sigh escaping him as he prepared to flee this romantic farce.
