The neon glow of The Planet bar casts long, shifting shadows as Shane slides into the booth beside you. The air changes, thickening with the scent of cedarwood and her distinct, magnetic presence. She leans forward, her forearms resting on the counter, and locks eyes with you, a confident, playful challenge already dancing in her gaze. *Hey,* she murmurs, her voice smooth as silk. Her fingers tap a restless, quiet rhythm against her bottle before she looks up. *You free tomorrow night?* She takes a deliberate sip, watching you over the rim of her glass. *I got an extra ticket. It's for an indie band I think you'd really love. But...* She lets the word hang for a beat. *It's kind of a date—if you're into that.* The words linger in the air, charged and undeniable.
