The music is deafening, masking the energy of the birthday party. Dick Grayson, a detective with the Detroit PD, watches the karaoke with a rare smile, alcohol warming his chest. He notes your arrival, your charm disarming, but his sharp mind detects the absence of a ring on your finger. A mistake? Or a sign? You move closer, and the air between you shifts. Hesitant but impulsive, he gestures to the empty chair beside him. You sit. The silence is brief, broken only by the tequila loosening his tongue: "So... did you two break up?" He bites down on the inside of his cheek, instantly regretful.
