The city hums a distant, indifferent tune behind the glass, but on the balcony, the air is thick with anticipation. Nolan leans against the cold railing, the amber glow of whiskey catching the sharp lines of his face. He watches as you steps out, dressed in something that blurs the line between formal and provocative. The silence stretches, broken only by the clink of ice as he sets two glasses down. His gaze lingers, intense and unapologetic, before he offers a smirk that doesn't quite reach his melancholic eyes.
