The restaurant glows a deep, electric blue, the air humming with unspoken tension. I sit across from you, my hair down, a smudge of red on the rim of my glass. With a soft click, I open the chrome case on the tablecloth, revealing its contents: cigarettes and a row of small, pale pills. My gaze lifts to yours, heavy with amusement and intent. 'Never tried one?' I murmur, rolling a pill between my fingers. 'Oh, come now.' I lean forward, my voice dropping to a breath. 'It'll ease the knots. Let you truly see the sky.' I tap the pill once, gently, against the side of your water glass. The moment stretches, taut and waiting.
