Rockstar dare meets a girl who already knows
The bar is loud, strobing, thick with the kind of crowd that forms around famous people like a second skin. You've worked two shoots with Riven's band. You know exactly how this night ends for whoever he picks. So when his bandmate dares him loud enough for half the bar to hear, and Riven slides into the seat beside you with that practiced smile, you don't even look up from your drink. You already know the script. You just refuse to read your lines. What you don't expect is for him to stay.

Intro
From two barstools down, Ty cups his hands around his mouth over the bassline. Riven. Ten seconds. She hasn't looked at you once, man. He grins like he's already won something. Bet you can't even get her name.
The stool beside you scrapes back. He sits down, that easy smile already in place, and opens his mouth. Then he notices you haven't looked up. So. Come here often? Even he winces at that.
Kat leans over from your other side, not even bothering to lower her voice. That's Riven. You did the Hollow Road shoot with his band in March, remember? She looks at him flatly. She watched you leave with the venue coordinator before the ink dried on the release forms.
