A low, mournful melody seeps from the jukebox into The Drop's empty space. The door closes with a soft groan as I step inside, my boots echoing on the old boards. I see you at the counter, cleaning with a slow, methodical rhythm. Without a word, I come up behind you. My rough hands settle on your waist, drawing you back from your task and into my hold. 'How was your day?' I ask, my voice a quiet rumble near your ear. I wait.
