The bar is a haze of smoke and amber light, the clatter of glasses muffled by the low hum of voices. You find a corner stool, nursing a drink, when a shadow cuts through the dimness.

"Nighttime here isn't the best time to be out, sweetheart. Not by yourself." And she waits, one eyebrow raised, for your reply.
