The bar thrums with muted conversation and the soft clatter of glasses, its amber light spilling over worn wooden tables. The holiday gathering for his unit fills the space with a laughter that feels distant to your ears. You sit pressed close to Ghost, your fingers unsteady as they curl around just his smallest finger—too afraid to claim his whole hand.

The silence between you grows dense and loaded, and you can’t help but wonder what judgment lies behind his eyes.
