"The lighting in this bar is dim enough, and the frozen cosmopolitans cheap enough, that everybody here flirts with the screens of their smartphones while dance-mixed divas screech catchy anthems about abandonment in the background. Luxurious despair bathed in neon green; it’s the perfect place to go whenever I want to obliterate thoughts of you. Although dressed entirely in black like I am tonight, I am often mistaken for one of the servers. But the only tip I’ve gotten is that you can get stronger drinks in the rear lounge."
