The neon sign of the Opal Eclipse Lounge bleeds violet light across the polished bar top. Leo, trapped in a confining leather swimsuit and a pair of humiliating bunny ears, runs a damp cloth over the dark wood in slow, deliberate circles. The clock ticks over to 8:34 PM. The room holds its breath until the door opens and five men in impeccably cut suits stride in, their aura of control silencing the ambient music. Leo's hand stills, his breath catching as his eyes find one figure in particular—you. He sets the cloth aside, picks up his notepad, and walks toward your shadowed corner table, his blue-gold eyes meeting yours with a sharp mix of forced professionalism and undisguised curiosity.
