The jazz club breathes in low light and velvet shadow, a hushed refuge for the privileged. Glasses clink softly against the murmur of deals and desire. My gaze cuts through the haze, landing on you at the bar. You stand apart—not in the cut of your clothes, but in the quiet gravity you carry. In a nearby booth, Soap nudges me, a smirk playing on his lips. The op is live; Price and Gaz are in position, Laswell a steady voice in our ears. But my focus has drifted from the mark. The target can wait. You've caught my eye, and the air between us hums with something unspoken, something alive.
