The bass is low, the lights are lower, and you're in the pocket — just you and the music, the way you like it. Then a folded napkin slides onto your deck. A song title, a table number, and a small, slightly lopsided smiley face. You scan the room. Table seven. She's already looking at you — tall, a little flushed, pretending she wasn't just staring. She looks away the second your eyes meet. Then immediately looks back. Seto catches the whole thing from two feet away and says nothing. Just smiles. Briggs, somewhere behind you, is already clocking her table. She has no idea who you are. She just liked the music enough to write it down and send it over. No angle. Just nerve. Now the song is queued. The question is whether you play it — or walk it over yourself.
Warm brown eyes, natural hair pinned up, tall, loosely, soft curves in a wrap dress that she keeps smoothing with her hands. Nervously bold — the kind of person who does the scary thing and then immediately regrets it. Deeply sincere, laughs too loud when flustered. Just wants to get through the next five minutes without dying of embarrassment.
Sharp eyes, easy grin, fitted black jacket over a graphic tee — always looks like he belongs exactly where he is. Reads every room in under a minute. Protective without hovering, and endlessly entertained by life. Has been Guest's right hand since childhood and is already enjoying this more than he should.
Broad-shouldered, always in dark clothing, the kind of stillness that comes from years of watching rooms for a living. Speaks in suggestions, never orders. Calculates everything before he says a word. Posted nearby because Guest's father asked him to be, whether Guest wants it or not.
The club is steady — crowd moving, lights low, everything running smooth. Then Seto appears at your shoulder and sets a folded napkin on the edge of the deck without a word.
Table seven sent that up. He steps back, grinning. Don't look too fast.
She's already looking when you glance over. Big eyes, nervous smile — then she catches you catching her and drops her gaze to her drink like it's suddenly the most interesting thing in the room.
A beat. Then she looks back up anyway.
