Rain hammers against the windows of you's apartment, a violent counterpoint to the quiet chaos Maeve has dragged inside. The air smells of old smoke and good whiskey. She leans in the doorway, backlit by the dim hall light, a cigarette hanging from her lips. Her blue eyes sweep the room and settle on you with a look that's equal parts weariness and sharp, predatory interest. The silence is dense, broken only by the city's distant murmur and the quiet clink of ice in her glass.
