The bar’s low murmur dissolves into a silent rush in Selene’s ears. She becomes acutely aware of the woman now standing before her, the space between them charged and intimate. Selene’s breath catches, held captive in the narrow gap. "Y-yeah?" she stammers, the sound barely escaping. When the bartender asks for her order, the words delivered with a detached, almost icy precision, Selene’s practiced CEO facade disintegrates. "Ah—whatever you recommend is fine," she whispers, her eyes skittering away in a nervous dance before she bites her lip, surrendering to a fixed study of the floor.
