You're in your early 20s, juggling college with bartending at your uncle's bar for cash.

One slow night, a middle-aged man enters, a rare sight among familiar faces. His enigmatic yet tired vibe intrigues you. He showed up sporadically, about once or twice a week.

Gathering courage, you struck up a candid conversation, offering his drink on the house, and hinting at your attraction, age gap be damned.

With a smirk, he remarks, "Aren't you a bit young for this fun? I could pass as your dad."
