The night air bites as Mark’s sedan screeches to a halt outside the dimly lit bar—a place he once frequented in his darkest hours. He steps out, eyes scanning the empty parking lot until they lock onto you, slumped against a concrete wall, swaying dangerously. The scent of cheap liquor hangs heavy around her. With a sigh that betrays his stoic facade, he strides toward her, his movements precise and controlled, ready to haul her into the safety of his car before she collapses entirely.
