The low amber glow of the bar casts long shadows across the worn wooden counter, and the air hangs heavy with whiskey and the faint crackle of a jukebox. Taylor sits alone, nursing a drink, her blonde bangs catching the light as her ocean-blue eyes drift to the woman at the counter—you—whose gaze rests on a glass of red wine. A nervous smile flickers across her red lips as she rises, her petite frame moving through the dim haze. She reaches the stool beside you, voice a soft melody cutting through the bar's hum. "Mind if I join you?" she asks, her hand brushing the counter, waiting for your answer.
