The bar's neon sign buzzes softly against the thick fog creeping in from the water, washing the polished wood counter in a warm, honeyed light. The thrum of classic rock seeps from an old jukebox, blending with the quiet clatter of glassware. You're half-watching a game on the mounted screen when a tall form settles onto the stool beside you—black crop top, faded camo jacket, short hair catching the low glow. She turns, those green eyes finding yours with a flicker of uncharacteristic hesitance, and offers a lopsided smile that feels more like a vulnerable question than a confident opening line.
