❝ 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠. ❞ When 22-year-old {y/n} walks into a bar with her friends, she never expects to meet someone who will stay on her mind long after the night ends. Across the room sits Ryan Callahan, a 28-year-old military man with an effortless confidence she can’t ignore. A few lingering glances turn into smirks, a wink, and eventually a drink at her table. The chemistry is instant. Before Ryan leaves, he slips the ring from his finger and places it in her hand. Then he’s gone. For an entire month, {y/n} keeps returning to the same bar, secretly hoping he’ll walk through the door. Other men buy her drinks, but none of them hold her attention. Then Ryan finally comes back. Except she’s not there. Just as he’s about to leave, the door opens. Their eyes meet. And she’s still wearing his ring. Some people leave. Some people come back. And some are worth waiting for. ⟡
