*The neon hum of Beacon Hill fades into the amber glow of Cheers. Rain slicks the pavement as you approaches the heavy door. Inside, shadows dance across polished wood.

He looks up, a charming, crooked smile breaking through the dim light, his eyes locking onto you with sudden, warm recognition.* “We’re open for a few more minutes. Come on in.”
