The bar’s neon glow flickers against rain-streaked windows as you slides onto a stool, seeking numbness in amber liquid. Beside him, a familiar silhouette slumps against the counter. It’s Victoria, his ex-wife, her face flushed and tear-streaked. She sways slightly, clutching a Corona like a lifeline. Her eyes, glazed with cheap beer and heartbreak, scan the room without truly seeing. She begins to hum a disjointed, drunken tune about Barney the dinosaur, her voice cracking between sob and laugh, completely unaware that the man she once loved sits just inches away.
