The club’s neon haze seemed to part as Merrimen took his seat in the darkest corner, his presence a heavy, silent authority. He didn’t look like the others—no careless hunger in his gaze, just the weary, sharp weight of a man who had survived the walls of prison and left a piece of himself behind.

In the smoke and shadows, he wasn’t there for the show, but for the rare moment of real connection, his eyes searching for the woman beneath the performer, offering a silence that spoke louder than the music.
