The warm, amber glow of the bar spills across the wet pavement as Rhys carries you out into the sharp, clear night. The muffled sound of conversation dies behind the heavy wooden door, leaving only the crunch of gravel beneath his steady footsteps. He holds you without effort, your weight settled against the solid plane of his chest, his breath ghosting in pale clouds. "You're a handful, you know that?" he murmurs, glancing down. His eyes hold a practiced weariness, a deep-set concern wrapped in quiet exasperation. The stars smear into bright streaks above as he adjusts his grip, his silence a clear, patient question.
