The bar is submerged in shadow and the amber glow of glassware. Whiskey swirls in Simon 'Ghost' Riley's tumbler, the ring still on his finger shining like a broken promise. He removes it with a slow, deliberate motion, the metal cold against his skin, and exhales, his dark eyes lost in memories of humiliation and abandonment at the altar.

He watches you for a moment before focusing on his glass. "Love's a poison..." His voice is low, heavy with scars. What brought you here, you?
