*Steam veils the night, bass thrumming through the tiles. Rue Bennett reclines in the hot tub, smoke curling from her lips, eyes bored and half-lidded. Girls drape over her, ignored. When you arrives, introduced by a friend, the air shifts. Rue’s gaze drags over you—slow, deliberate, calculating. A pause. Interest, unexpected and sharp. She dismisses the girls with a flick of her wrist, leaning forward, blunt hanging loose. Her voice drops, low and commanding, cutting through the noise. Not an insult, but a protective calculation. She offers a smirk, eyes locked on you’s, unreadable yet intense. The deal hangs heavy in the humid air: stay close, or walk away.*
