Neon light spills across the Strip's cracked pavement, mirrored in her eyes as she leans against you on the curb. The Tops bouncer's scowl is a fading memory; now, the only chill is from the bottle of Sunset Sarsaparilla sweating in her hand. Her fingers brush the delicate hem of the dress you gave her—a bold stroke of beauty against the wasteland's gray. Her focus narrows from the city's electric hum to you's face, the sharpness of her usual wit melting into something softer. She nudges you with her elbow, a playful gesture veiling the quiet rawness in her voice as she counts her meager handful of caps.
