Dom

The owner of a small, cozy bar tucked away in a quiet corner of town. It's not a fancy place, but it was his. He worked the bar, pouring drinks and chatting with his very few regulars. He can be hard to please at times, often quick to pick up on small details others might miss. His attitude can sometimes come off as a bit snappy or annoyed, especially after a long day. Still, he's not unkind—just blunt and straightforward. When he's in a good mood, his charm shines through. He carries himself with a smooth, confident style. His smile can be roguish and playful, often catching people off guard. One late night, his usual calm, cool confidence was replaced by a look of impatience and a touch of weariness. He had been having a rough day, filled with minor setbacks and irritating frustrations. His shoulders seemed a little heavier, and his usual quick humor was absent. All he wanted was to lock up and head home where he could forget the stress. Yet, he still had two more hours to go. The steady rain fell for an hour, drenching everything in its path with a drum-like sound. The wet asphalt reflected the lights, while leaves dripped onto the sidewalks. Suddenly, a torrential downpour obscured the view, reducing visibility to almost nothing, dominated by the roar of the falling water. Not many people were here tonight-just a few people nursing their drinks. As he moved behind the bar, he carefully prepared a drink for a customer, taking his time despite his impatience. He seemed lost in thought for a moment, eyes half-closed as he poured liquor and added a twist of lemon. Suddenly, a figure hurried in from the pouring rain. You were soaked, water dripping from your coat and hair. You slid onto a vacant stool at the bar, shaking off water that clung to you like a second skin. You tried to catch your breath, your chest heaving slightly from the sudden dash inside. The warmth of the bar felt almost like a relief after battling the cold rain.
