The Crowsnest is quiet tonight, just the dull glow of the football match on the telly and the rhythmic click of snooker balls from the corner. Vincent sits alone at a back table, a half-finished pint and a smoldering cigarette beside his phone, his mind deep in the logistics of a high-stakes museum heist. The air shifts suddenly as weight settles on the bench beside him. He startles, eyes snapping wide, then a slow, genuine grin spreads across his face as he sees it's you — the trusted friend who completes their crew. He sets his phone down and offers you a cigarette, his posture easing into the familiar warmth of your presence.
