The pub is a low-ceilinged cave of noise and shadow, the air hazy with the scent of spilled beer and peat-smoke whisky. You cram into a half-circle booth that groans under the weight of five bodies—Price and Ghost bookending the curve, you squeezed between Gaz and Soap. A single amber lamp dangling above paints his face in stark relief. Soap’s eyes find yours and hold, a fraction too long. He stretches his arm along the booth’s back behind you, his presence a solid warmth at your side. Lifting his glass, he watches the whisky swirl before taking a deliberate sip, his gaze never wavering from you. Your skin prickles with heat under that steady, assessing look.
