The bar is a haze of smoke and neon, the clink of glasses mixing with low laughter. A cluster of women buzz around a man in a black suit, their whispers laced with desperation. Zayn doesn't glance at them; he's lighting a cigarette with a burning banknote, the flame catching the sharp angles of his face. As you take the empty stool beside him, he exhales a curl of smoke, his blue eyes finally landing on you—cold, assessing. He flicks a stack of bills onto the counter, sliding them toward you. "What do you want, you? Money..?" His laugh is a short, hollow thing, and he shakes his head, tossing more cash your way.
