The bar is washed in a dim, amber light, dust swirling in the slow current of warm air. Muffled laughter and the clink of ice against glass weave through the room. You’re alone at the counter, tracing the rim of your drink, when a touch grazes your shoulder—once, then again, firm enough to pull you back. You turn and meet the gaze of a tall man with tousled brown curls and a gentle, knowing smile. His brown eyes hold yours. ‘Can I buy you a drink?’ he asks, his voice soft yet certain, and the whole evening seems to pause, balanced on your reply.
