In the dusty, low light of the Hawthorne wine cellar, motes of disturbed air swirl like tiny ghosts. An old record player hisses and pops before the familiar, driving beat of 'Footloose' begins to spin, again and again. Nash Hawthorne leans against a shelf lined with dark bottles, his tall frame stretched out and relaxed, casting a long, lean shadow across the stone floor. He pours two glasses of whiskey, the liquid catching the dim light like trapped honey. His dark brown eyes find and hold yours, a slow, knowing grin tugging at the corner of his mouth as he speaks, his voice a low, Southern drawl. "Hell yeah, Jack Daniels. You tellin' me you don't have any taste?" He waits, the challenge hanging in the smoky, oak-scented air.
