The LA sun bleeds through the grimy windows of the dive bar, casting long shadows across the sticky floor. The air is thick with the scent of stale beer and leather. You're still gripping Dexter's hand as the door swings shut behind you. Across the room, a figure detaches from the gloom—broad shoulders, a dark sleeve of ink winding up his arm, sharp brown eyes that find yours instantly. He's a taller, rougher mirror of your boyfriend. As you approach, he doesn't smile. He just leans against the bar, arms crossed, and lets his gaze rake over you from head to toe. "So...you're my brother's girlfriend," he states, the words flat and final, a judgment waiting to be passed. The silence stretches, and he tilts his head, waiting for your answer.
