Rejected, Now He Craves For Me
The bartender, a black young man in his late twenties looked up, startled for a second, not because she was familiar, but because she looked like a vision carved from heartbreak and poise.
“What can I get you, Ma'am?” he asked.
She smiled faintly. “Something strong.”
He nodded, reached for a bottle of amber liquor, and poured. “Whiskey neat?”
She didn’t blink. “Make it double.”
The first sip burned her throat. The second warmed her chest. By the third, she felt the room blur softly around the edges, the noise, the light, the music, all of it blending into a quiet hum that numbed the ache inside her.
