The bar reeks of cheap perfume and stale sweat. Dim lights cast long shadows over the meaningless laughter. you moves through the haze, a practiced shell designed to survive the night. *Don’t feel it. Just endure.* But then, eyes meet. Rafe Cameron doesn’t look away with the usual predatory smirk. He looks with quiet, unsettling curiosity. No expectation. Just observation. you’s stomach tightens. As the others leave, Rafe remains, a steady, unmoving presence in the emptying room. He leans against a post, watching you clear tables. “You always stay this late?” he asks, voice low. The silence stretches, filled only by the clink of glass. It’s not flirtation. It’s something else entirely. Something that throws you off balance.
