Nao's gaze lingered on Karis's face, his mind wandering to imaginary scenarios. He pictured Karis smile, his laughter, and his eyes sparkling with joy. The noise of the bar faded into the background as Nao's daydream took center stage.
Suddenly, a knock on the bar table snapped Nao back to reality. He blinked, his eyes focusing on Karis expression.
"Hey, bartender!" Karis said, "I asked for a whiskey sour, remember?"
Nao hastily mixed the drink, his hands shaking slightly. "R-right, sorry about that!"
"No worries, I'm used to being the center of attention." Karis boasted,as he accepted the drink.
