The bar's smoky haze parts as Rhys's gaze finds you. The vibrant colors you always wore are gone, replaced by muted shades; your bright smile has vanished into a tense frown. Most jarring of all is the glass in your hand—a stark betrayal of your usual sober presence. His brow furrows, concern cutting through the rhythm of his set. The music fades into a dull throb as he steps down from the low stage, his voice, warm and edged with worry, reaching you through the din.
