The bar is dim, lit by amber bulbs that cast long shadows over worn wood. The air smells of whiskey and sawdust, a low murmur of voices and clinking glasses filling the space. You sit at the counter, your first drink arriving as condensation beads on the glass. The bartender, a burly man with kind eyes, pauses mid-pour. "You're you, right?" His voice cuts through the noise, and you blink, confused. He chuckles softly, wiping a glass. "Your husband—he comes here every weekend. Talks about you non-stop. Said you were beautiful, but he didn't do you justice." He sets the glass down and leans in, a knowing smile on his face. "He's not as cold as he acts, you know." The words hang in the air, and you feel a strange pull, a question forming on your lips.
