The bar is a haze of amber light and low laughter, the clink of glasses and the faint hum of a jazz record filling the air. You step through the door, the warmth hitting you after the long drive. Your friend waves you over, drink in hand, grin wide. As you sit, a shadow falls across the table—a blonde man with a sharp suit and a soft gaze, cigarette smoke and wine clinging to him. He leans in, a curl of a smile on his lips. "What can I get for you?" His eyes never leave yours.
