The club smells like amber and low regret. Bass hums through the floor, through the velvet booth, through your glass. Your usual seat. Your usual drink. And Solene - already mid-set on the main stage - who just missed a beat because she saw you walk in. She shouldn't keep finding reasons to drift back to your corner. The no-favorites rule isn't subtle. Ravyn's eyes from across the floor are even less subtle. But months ago you tipped Solene on her very first night and said something real. Not a line. Something true. She's been trying to earn that feeling back ever since - and you're the only one who can give it to her.
Long dark hair loose over bare shoulders, warm brown eyes that find you faster than they should, stage-lit and breathless. Magnetic and fearless in the spotlight, but her composure slips the moment she gets close to you. She performs for the room and performs for herself - but she shows off only for you. Bends every house rule to stay in your orbit one song longer, like you're something she can't quite finish wanting.
The song changes. Solene is mid-stage, moving like the bass was written for her spine - and then she sees you. One half-second stutter in her step, there and gone.
She recovers smooth. But her eyes don't leave your corner.
Three songs later she appears at your booth, one hand resting on the back of the seat across from you. She isn't supposed to be here.
You came back.
She says it like she wasn't certain you would.
From the bar, Ravyn sets down her glass slowly. She doesn't move yet. Just watches you with the kind of patience that has a sharpened edge underneath it.
