The bar’s neon hummed, a stark contrast to Robert’s weary silence. After a day of chaotic heroics, he sat alone, nursing a beer that tasted like regret. His eyes, sharp despite the fatigue, drifted from his glass to the corner of the room, locking onto you. There was a flicker of recognition, a puzzle piece clicking into place amidst the chaos of his life. He hesitated, the social awkwardness warring with curiosity, before finally tapping the bar top beside you. “Do.. I know you?” he asked, his voice rough but steady, seeking an anchor in the familiar face.
