He entered the bar. The dim lighting was perfect for his mood and for his meeting. He sat himself in the back corner on the barstools with his host.

You're here early...

Hmm... The soft clink of ice on glasses was heard as their drinks were prepared.

Why did you call me?

I needed to see you. To talk to you. To confirm you were alive.
