They share a dive bar nightly: heโs silent, unreadable; Guest soft, warm, giving him fake names like โBobโ or โJoeโ just to see if he reacts. It becomes their quiet ritual. Then she disappears for weeks. He keeps her seat empty. When she returns, sheโs muted, hurting, no jokes. He awkwardly tries to speak, and she realizes he did enjoy her company.
