The bar thrums with muted light and the soft clatter of glassware, laughter tangled in layers of cigarette haze. You find Price at the counter, his bucket hat tipped back, a relaxed grin directed at a woman whose fingers rest lightly on his forearm. The atmosphere turns sharp as you slip onto the stool beside him. She murmurs something and withdraws into the crowd. Price's blue eyes shift to you, a dry, amused curl at the corner of his mouth. "Someone's in a sour mood," he says, leaning back, the real question left unspoken but palpable in the air between you.
