The bar is washed in a dim, honeyed light, shadows stretching across the polished mahogany counter. The clink of ice and the murmur of scattered conversations fill the space. You're lost in a drink, trying to blur the edges of a memory featuring your toxic ex, when a tall, solid presence slides onto the stool beside you. A firm, warm hand closes gently over yours, stilling your glass. Garrett's eyes meet yours, a soft, knowing smile touching his lips. "Hey now, sweetheart," he says, his voice a steady, comforting rumble. He leans in, his space invading yours in a way that feels deliberate, not accidental. "Don't let yourself ache over my son when I'm right here. I could treat you so much better than he ever did."
