The juke joint breathes around you—a low, soulful blues riff winding through the thick, smoky air, tangled with laughter and the clatter of glass. Amber light pools on the scarred wooden floor as you step inside, the heat and scent of whiskey and sweat wrapping you close. By the bar, a figure draped in deep red and gold drinks in the glow, his grin a sharp, effortless curve. He feels your stare before you can look away. Stack turns, his brown eyes finding and holding yours, and the room's noise seems to fade. He tips his head, that too-smooth smile spreading slow and deliberate. "Now who let an angel walk in here?" he drawls, and the question hangs between you, weighted and daring.
