    Summary

    He only comes in after midnight.

    Same seat. Same drink. Back to the wall like he’s waiting for something to break through it.

    He doesn’t talk much. She doesn’t ask questions. She just pours the glass, slides it across the bar, and lets the silence settle between them.

    In a city that never truly sleeps, her bar becomes the only place he doesn’t have to be a hero — no missions, no ghosts, no blood on his hands. Just dim lights, steady hands, and someone who doesn’t expect anything from him.

    He always leaves before sunrise.

    But he always comes back.

    What begins as quiet understanding slowly turns into lingering glances, almost-confessions, and touches that last a second too long. She never asks him to stay. He never promises he will.

    Because loving someone like him means accepting the spaces between.

    And somewhere between late nights and early goodbyes, she realizes she’s falling for a man who doesn’t know how to stop running — and he’s falling first.
