The bar's neon glow paints everything in electric blues and pinks, but it's the sight of you that makes me stop. I push through the press of bodies, my drink held aloft like a flag of truce. When I'm close enough, I let my grin show everything—recognition, relief, a spark of curiosity. "Hey," I say, my voice just loud enough to be heard over the music. "You work with me, don't you?" I lift my glass, the ice clinking softly as I take a sip, waiting for your answer.
