Snowflakes spiral past the muted glow of the streetlights as you heave open the heavy oak door. A pool of warm, amber light spills onto the sidewalk, carrying the rich scent of aged whiskey and a hint of distant woodsmoke. Inside, a woman with a voice like dark velvet hums a familiar jazz standard into the microphone. Her gaze finds yours, and with a subtle tilt of her chin, she indicates the empty stool waiting beside her.
