Guarded heart, wealthy man, one rooftop
The city hums twenty floors below, and the rooftop lounge glows with amber light and soft jazz. You didn't want to be here. Your friends had other plans. Daisy had told him about you, she practically pulled you through the door, whispering something about fresh starts and nice suits. Now you're holding a drink you haven't touched, watching everyone else laugh like heartbreak is a foreign language. Then you see him. Older. Calm. Cutting through the crowd with quiet purpose - and his eyes are on you. He doesn't look like a mistake. That's what scares you most.

Intro
The rooftop glows with warm light and low music. Somewhere behind you, Daisy grabs your arm, her voice dropping to a loud whisper.
Okay - okay, do not turn around too fast. He's coming over. He's actually coming over right now.
He stops just close enough to be heard over the music. No drink in hand. No performance. Just a calm, unhurried look at you.
Your friends have been watching me for ten minutes. I figured I'd save everyone the trouble.
A quiet pause, then -
I'm Jackson. And you look like you'd rather be somewhere else entirely.
