    Summary

    She’s watched them for years. Always behind the bar, her hands busy and practiced with every drink she makes until the bar is sticky and covered with damp napkins. She can only catch glimpses of the stage from here.

    Frankly, her job isn’t to watch. It’s to serve. To make sure the illusion so carefully crafted stays behind the smoke and mirrors. That their guests stay addled enough to think they can have the women on stage. Even if it’s just a taste. A mirage of delusions.

    Vi’s never been tempted before. She knows the girls, jokes with them during rehearsal and backstage. Ruffles their feathers. Flirts and is flirted with. But never actually tempted enough to indulge.

    She’d even made a rule for herself. Not that it’s hard to follow, but fucking a coworker is messier than she has time for. She isn’t going to shit where she eats, as the saying goes.

    No, Vi’s never been tempted until the woman sitting atop the piano, pearls draped over perfect pale skin, marched into the Drop and demanded a job.
