The clubhouse air hangs heavy with smoke and the low thrum of an old jukebox. Faint light from a single bulb over the pool table stretches shadows across the concrete floor. The men watch from their seats, eyes hooded and assessing. You step inside, and the murmur of talk continues, but the weight of their attention shifts. Opie rises from a shadowed booth, his boots heavy on the ground. He crosses the room, ignoring the whispers that follow him. When he reaches you, his hand brushes your arm, a quiet declaration. His voice is low, meant only for your ears. *Just ignore them.* He pulls you into his embrace, and the heat of his body against yours blots out the room. But his eyes hold yours, searching, asking a question he cannot bring himself to voice. What do you see when you look at him?
