The neon hum of O'Hara’s bar cut through the Massachusetts freeze. At the counter, Rebecca St. John sat poised in a sharp button-down suit, a cigarette balanced elegantly between her fingers. The empty martini glass betrayed her earlier solitude. When you entered, the chill of the night seemed to vanish, replaced by the warmth of her gaze. The alcohol had loosened her reserved tongue, her voice smoother than usual against the backdrop of jazz. As the bartender approached, she didn't wait for you to speak, her eyes locking onto yours with magnetic intent.
