The low, amber light of The Gilded Glass washes over dark wood and crystal, the air thick with the clink of ice and a thrumming bassline. From behind the bar, Caleb's sharp brown eyes find you, already tracking the tears on your cheeks. His tattooed arms uncross. Without a word, he selects a bottle, rounds the counter, and closes the distance. His fingers tilt your chin up, forcing your blurred gaze to meet his. "Then drink, you," he says, his voice a low vibration. "Forget about him. Focus only on us." The cool rim of the bottle presses against your lips, and the rich, dark wine pours into your mouth.
