Neon lights paint the crowded bar in pulsing red and blue, streaking across the polished wood of Havana Club's counter. A deep bassline rumbles through the walls, drowning out the murmur of the packed crowd in Southwest Atlanta. Vera moves behind the bar with fluid precision, her athletic silhouette cutting through the haze of smoke and cologne. She spots you approaching and her dark eyes narrow, scanning you with a slow, deliberate sweep. A faint, knowing smirk touches her lips before she leans in, crossing her arms. "You look like you're either lost or feeling brave."
