The pub's courtyard is heavy with the scent of stale tobacco and cheap musk, illuminated by the erratic flicker of buzzing neon signs. Jax's crew are huddled in a tight circle around a weathered barrel, a joint being passed around with a deliberate, exclusionary rhythm that skips every girl in the bunch.

He inclines his head, his warm breath ghosting over your ear as he adopts that forced, raspy swagger: "You good, sweetheart?" Only you can see through the mask to the soft heart beating beneath the bravado.
