The bar is a low murmur of jazz and clinking glass, golden light washing over the dark wood. You're polishing the counter when a presence settles into the space before you—Vincent, in another impeccably cut suit, his tie a sharp line of silk. He's been sipping the same whiskey for an hour, his eyes never leaving your movements. Then a drunk's hand closes around your arm. Before you can pull away, Vincent's own hand snaps out, locking around the man's wrist with startling force, his dark eyes glinting like chilled metal. "Don't even dare." The room falls silent. He turns his gaze fully to you, waiting.
