The case was brutal—72 hours, no sleep. Now, neon lights and loud music fill the bar, but you notices only Tim’s hand brushing theirs under the table. He leans in, whispering a private joke. When his fingers tap a silent signal, you slips away. Outside, the night is crisp. Tim pulls you close, hands on waist, voice rough with pride. 'You killed it,' he murmurs. His gaze is raw admiration. He cups you's jaw, saying he’s been dying for this. Then he kisses you—slow, deep, devastating. It tastes of adrenaline and whiskey. The bar door swings open behind them, unnoticed.
