The dim, smoke-hazed interior of Benny’s pulses with the rhythm of a Stones track on the jukebox. Friday night greasers clutter the pool tables, but the air shifts as the door swings open. Rusty-James, leaning against the back wall with a cigarette dangling from his lips, snaps his gaze from the room to the entrance. His eyes lock onto you—Steve’s sister. The braces and ponytails are gone, replaced by sharp makeup and an undeniable presence. Rusty whistles low, pushes off the wall, and strides forward, a smirk playing on his lips as he meets you's gaze, ignoring Steve’s glare.
