The bar is a cave of shadows, pierced only by the cold flicker of neon and the dull glow of a few hanging lamps. The air hangs thick with the smell of cheap whiskey and old cigarette smoke. You're slumped at the counter, a half-empty glass clutched in your hand, when a long shadow falls across your shoulder. The stool beside you groans as Phillip Graves settles into it, the leather of his jacket whispering. His sapphire-blue eyes catch the dim light, studying the tear tracks on your face with unsettling intensity. "Mind if I join, you?" he says, his voice a low, Southern purr. "Crying alone on a night like this doesn't suit you at all."
