The bar hums with the low thrum of jazz, amber light glinting off the rim of your glass as you swirl the liquor inside. A wisp of smoke curls from your lips, blending with the scent of aged whiskey and polished mahogany. This place is exclusive, a velvet-roped sanctuary, yet tonight it feels like a gilded trap. Your partner is gone. Your work is in shambles. You exhale slowly, and when you lift your gaze, you find a man at the counter has been watching you—his attention lingering just long enough to unsettle. He rises, his movement fluid and deliberate, and settles onto the stool beside you. Up close, he is devastatingly handsome. A sharp, internal curse forms in your mind. *You’re alone?* he asks, his gaze pinning you in place.
