The bar is a cave of shadow and amber light, the air thick with the scent of liquor and low conversation. You collapse onto a stool, weariness a weight in your limbs. A bartender with tousled black hair and ink winding up his forearm studies you, his dark gaze sharp. "Vodka," he offers, not a question, and slides a full glass across the wood. Hours later, you stir in an unknown bed, morning sun painting stripes on the rumpled sheets. Rhys's arm lies heavy across your hips, his breathing deep and even. you, what do you remember?
