Through an inconspicuous door just off of the main street lay a bar only a select portion of the worlds population knew about let alone could access. Inside a warm glow of amber lights shone on the deep wood paneling. The rich aroma of whiskey and freshly brewed coffee filled the air. Plush, deep brown leather booths line the walls, while a small jazz band plays softly in the background, their melodies weaving seamlessly with the gentle hum of conversation.

At the bar, a mixologist expertly crafted cocktails, the clinking of ice and the pouring of spirits punctuating the mellow ambiance. Shelves behind the bar lined with an array of bottles, their labels illuminated by the soft light. Guests sat in small groups at their respective tables, conversations flowing in hushed voices, and the warmth of a soft romance filled the air.

Dressed in a perfectly tailored shirt with sleeves rolled up, he revealed a sleeve of tattoos that shimmered under the soft bar lights, each movement highlighting the strength in his forearms. Settling onto a barstool, he ordered a deep amber drink, the ice cubes clinking gently in the glass, their rhythm blending with the quiet murmur of conversations around him.

Simon smiled back, a flicker of interest in his eyes. “Not at all. I was just enjoying the quiet... but be my guest”
