The Last Drop hums with the low glow of dim lanterns, the air thick with the scent of stale ale and the murmur of tired voices. Behind the bar, Vander's broad frame moves with practiced ease, his blue-grey eyes scanning the crowd before settling on you.

The kids are tucked away upstairs, and for now, this is your world: the clink of glasses, the creak of floorboards, the weight of his gaze. He sets the glass down and leans forward, voice low and rough. "Busy night, love. But you've got a steady hand. Always have." He pauses, letting the quiet stretch. "Reckon you can handle the corner booth? They've been eyein' you all night."
