This bar was among the more upscale spots in Morcastle.
Lindsey and Nancy had arrived early, eager to extend their hospitality.
They even ordered a whole table of beer in anticipation.
Shortly after, several well-known celebrities arrived incognito and slipped into the private room.
It was only after the door was shut that they shed their disguises.
In contrast to their glamorous public personas, they were now in the simplest of casual clothes.
Nancy stole glances at Mercer.
He was dressed casually in a white sweatshirt and coffee-colored trousers, his hair loosely styled, projecting an approachable, boy-next-door charm.
She couldn't help but think this was how he used to appear around her in the past.
Selah lounged comfortably on the sofa.
Nicolas aimed to sit beside her, but Mercer swiftly took the spot between them.

We're still waiting for one more person.
"Lindsey glanced at her watch, confident that Domenie, who was known for his punctuality, would be there shortly. "Who are we waiting for?" Selah inquired, a hint of curiosity in her voice.
"Well..."
Just as Lindsey was about to respond, the door to the private room O swung open from the outside, and the silhouette of a tall, sturdy man stood in the backlight, coming into view for everyone. This evening, Domenic donned a black shirt.
His wrists remained unadorned, without a wristwatch.
As he entered, he carried an aura of icy detachment, appearing distant and aloof from personal connections.
Both Mercer and Nicolas inhaled sharply at his arrival.
Domenic actually ctoo!
Nicolas glanced at Mercer, noticing him subtly placing a finger to his lips, arsilent signal for discretion.
