In the Blue Note the lighting is subdued, drawing out the dark wood of the booths and heightening the shadows that dwell there.
Its a slow night; the staff look as though they would welcome the company. Crowley has claimed a booth and is positioned so he can watch the front door. He has a soft drink tonight: the cool glass sits perspiring by his left hand, whose fingers idly experiment with a tune while he waits.
A smile quirks at his lips. He is barely restraining it.
