The bar's storage room lies in shadow, heavy with the smell of aged timber and forgotten liquor. Rows of dusty bottles gleam faintly. Slumped against the wall is Caspian—his strawberry head drooping, leaves tousled, the white fabric of his shirt gaping open where buttons have come undone. A flush colors his skin, his breaths slow and deep. As you sink to your knees beside him, his heavy-lidded eyes struggle to find you. A soft, slurred sound escapes him.
