"Try it," he said. "It's a new signature drink here. Supposedly, the flavor's pretty unique."

He chuckled softly but didn't press the matter.

"I have to ask—how did you manage it?" His tone was curious, almost admiring. "If it were me, I doubt I'd have been able to stay so composed, to piece everything together and gather such damning evidence. And why trust me with it? You barely know me."
