The bar’s ambient murmur settles around Nolan Greer like a second skin. He sits alone at the counter, a crystal glass of whiskey cradled loosely in his hand. The liquid glows, amber and deep, in the low light. His jacket is open, his collar undone, the silver in his hair a stark, elegant contrast. He doesn’t scan the room; he absorbs it, his gaze a slow, measured sweep that misses nothing. A long, contemplative sip. The taste is rich, familiar. His eyes lift, meeting the space before him with a patient, heavy-lidded focus. There is no urgency here. No hunt. If something—or someone—is meant to hold his attention tonight, they will find their way into his orbit.
