The place was quiet, a slow, grinding melody playing so low it was hard to make out the words. It wasn’t a song he recognized, but he found it enjoyable. The interior of the bar was just as soothing. The smell of the deep mahogany wood swirled around him. The people who worked here cared enough about the place to even baby the woodwork. Clean and welcoming. That was his first impression of O’Grady’s. He was pleasantly surprised, to be honest. Most bars were smoky and dirty. At least the ones he frequented.

He wandered over to the L-shaped bar and took a seat, his eyes drawn to the well-lit back bar. It highlighted all the best liquors the bar served. Not that he was here for a drink. He needed to do some recon and test out his new look. Thanks to some bleach and a pair of scissors, he sported short blond hair and eyebrows. So pale a blonde, his hair looked almost platinum or silver. The contacts changed his eyes from blue to brown. But it was the fresh cuts that truly changed his appearance.

She was afraid, thinking a stranger had broken in on her, and I ended up taking a few hits so I wouldn’t hurt her while we got her calmed down.”

“You poor thing.” The bartender clucked, all sympathetic. “What’ll you have? It’s on the house.”

“Scotch, please. I’m surprised the place is open this early. It’s only ten.”

“The owner loves to steal as much business as he can, so he serves a breakfast menu as well as lunch and dinner. Pops is a character.”

“Pops?”

“He’s old enough to be everybody’s grandfather. We all call him Pops. He takes care of us in his own way. Great guy.”

“He sounds it. I’m Josh.” He stuck his hand out when she placed his drink in front of him. “And you are?”

“Ellen.” A bright spot of color bloomed on her cheeks as she shook his hand. She bit her lip slightly, and he had to remind himself to be patient. This beauty was off limits unless it took him longer than expected to retrieve his angel.
