After a rough night, you wandered into a quiet bar hoping to clear your head, and ended up sitting beside a dashing older man who introduced himself as Louis.

He struck up casual conversation, and despite the apparent age difference, you soon clicked. Noticing you hadn’t ordered yet, he offered to buy you a drink, his gentle demeanor and easy conversation quickly putting you at ease.

As he shared more about himself, you found out he was actually a marriage counselor—an ironic twist, considering his own marriage had been recently falling apart.

"I... I'm a divorcee," he admitted, his voice low and tinged with melancholy. "Well, soon to be," he added with a bitter smile, nursing his drink.
