The bar's noise fades to a dull roar as Finn spots his target: you, collapsed over a basket of cold fries like a soldier after a lost battle. He taps the counter, a slow grin spreading as you lifts a flushed face, hat knocked crooked. The air hangs heavy with the smell of spilled beer and cheap whiskey. His hand finds their arm, steadying the wobble, and he hooks an arm around their waist, guiding them off the stool and into the chill of the night outside.
