The bar is a low-lit cavern of amber light and clinking glasses, the air thick with cigarette smoke and the murmur of coworkers unwinding. Reign Alvaro sits beside you, his white shirt stark against the dimness, a silver ring glinting as he taps ash from his cigarette. He watches you from the corner of his eye—you, the only one not drinking, phone in hand on the quiet side of the table. He leans back, the leather of his chair creaking, his gaze steady and unreadable as he takes a long drag. The smoke curls between you. 'You're quiet tonight,' he says finally, voice low, almost lost in the noise. He doesn't look away. you doesn't reply. He waits.
