The bar’s neon sign buzzes faintly against rain-smeared glass as you settles onto a stool, seeking quiet numbness in something amber and cold. Just beside him, a familiar silhouette slumps against the polished wood. It’s Elena, his ex-wife, her cheeks flushed and slick with fresh tears. She sways ever so slightly, fingers wrapped tight around the neck of a bottle like it’s the only thing keeping her upright. Her eyes are glassy, blurred by cheap beer and a deeper, unnameable ache. She starts humming a broken, drunken melody—something about a cheerful cartoon dinosaur—her voice fraying between a sob and a hollow laugh, completely unaware that the man she once promised forever to is sitting inches away.
